It was. I purchased most of my current underwear from an M&S store in Warsaw. That store will be shut down permanently by next monday.

They're losing stores across the country here too.
They don't seem to have a business plan that can compete with online retailers.
Wouldn't be surprised if they went under fairly soon.

Fairly common criticism over here was that M&S clothing line seemed geared towards elderly customers rather than younger ones.
And since our old folks mostly consist of poorfags, M&S stores around Warsaw were visibly emptier than shops with younger people as their target audience. The fact that M&S shops were among the largest in terms of occupied space wasn't exactly helping them stay afloat, either.
>>
M&S has no niche, people just go to Waitrose if they want expensive readymeals or a clothes shop if they want clothes
Their banking wing is ace though
>>
>>77745547
Yeah they have the same problem here. Good food though.
>>
They opened a few shops here in the 90s but never expanded from there.
I seen the everywhere in London but here i never even noticed their stores desu.
>>77745072
Cute girly panties r-right?

Nah, non-elastic boxer shorts.
I don't like my morning boner being suppressed by underwear.

Waitrose needs to open more stores. Id buy their junk food
>>
For some reason HOK-Elanto, one of our biggest national co-ops, has been shilling a lot of British stuff. First we got M&S (great food but too expensive for what it is, sensible clothes at an okay price), now we got Tesco products too in the biggest national supermarket chain. I wonder why they're pushing it on us so aggressively.
Tesco food is fairly popular but M&S never gets any customers because their stuff looks too mumsie and middle-aged ladies here prefer shopping at Stockmann (kind of like Finnish Selfridges) instead.

From Hungary as well.
They couldn't build up a big enough consumer base like H&M and the likes, partly because of the price point, and partly because their designs didn't click with what younger generations wanted. Mostly +35 year old upper-middle class shopped there, but they aren't the most numerous base and have plenty of other stores to shop from.
Also, the food and other stuffs was very minimal here.

They also opened up stores in the bigger new malls that were opened well after the 90s.
