**Is Wolverhampton's Marks & Spencer on the Brink? Major Closure Proposal Unveiled!**

Wolverhampton’s Marks & Spencer store is facing a potential closure, as confirmed by regional manager Calum Telford. He noted that the Dudley Street location has been underperforming for a significant period. Although the closure is still a proposal, Telford expressed gratitude to the customers for their loyalty and emphasized that the brand’s immediate focus is on ongoing discussions with employees. In the event of a closure, Marks & Spencer plans to offer alternative positions to affected staff wherever possible.

Telford reassured the public of the company’s commitment to Wolverhampton, stating that they are collaborating closely with the City of Wolverhampton Council to identify a suitable alternative for food retail within the area. This move aligns with Marks & Spencer’s broader strategy of investing in the Black Country, which includes modernization efforts already underway at their Merry Hill store.
