Major UK retailers, including Tesco and Marks & Spencer, are closing down several stores across the country. Other stores affected include Boots, Clinton Cards, Poundland, Robert Dyas, WHsmith, and Wetherspoons. Tesco’s Chippenham town centre store in Wiltshire will permanently close on August 15, but a new Tesco Express will open nearby. Marks and Spencer will close its Redhill branch in Surrey on August 17, while Wickes is shutting down its Sheffield store after 30 years. Wickes attributes the closure partly to decreased business due to a new Clean Air Zone in Sheffield.
