Swan Walk in Horsham was forced to shut earlier this week after a pane of the building’s glass ceiling fell into the centre.
A spokesperson for the shopping centre confirmed yesterday that it would remain closed over the weekend.
However, in an update issued this morning (July 18), the centre said that the M&S store located within it had reopened after the retailer installed a temporary protective structure at its entrance.
The store can currently be accessed via the centre’s Carfax entrance or the M&S lifts from the car park directly into the shop.
The rest of the centre remains closed while specialist inspections and safety assessments continue.

A spokesperson for the centre said that it was exploring similar safe solutions to that implemented at M&S and other options that could be extended across the centre.
They added: “We will proceed with whichever option allows the quickest and safest reopening for the remainder of the centre.
“The safety of visitors, tenants, and staff remains our highest priority.
“We will provide a further update once more information is available and thank customers and businesses for their continued patience.”
