The British Retail Consortium recently revealed that more than 1,000 large-format stores have closed in the past five years, with hundreds more expected to follow if business rates increase as planned.<\/p>\n<p>Among this week\u2019s closures is Marks &amp; Spencer\u2019s long-standing city centre store in Wolverhampton, with the retailer seeking to relocate to a food-only site nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Gaming chain GAME will pull out of The Galleries in Bristol on Tuesday as the company adapts to the rise of digital game downloads. Hobbycraft is closing two of its outlets, including its King\u2019s Lynn branch earlier in the coming week and its Stafford shop on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Poundland is also undergoing a major restructuring after being sold to investment firm Gordon Brothers for \u00a31 earlier this year. As part of the shake-up, the discounter will close five of its stores later this month, in Havant, Newport, Ripley, Swanley and Uttoxeter, alongside its Glasgow Partick branch.<\/p>\n<p>Full list of closures taking place between September 22 and 28:<\/p>\n<p>Hobbycraft, King\u2019s Lynn \u2013 22 September<\/p>\n<p>GAME, The Galleries, Bristol \u2013 25 September<\/p>\n<p>M&amp;S, Wolverhampton city centre \u2013 27 September<\/p>\n<p>Poundland, Havant \u2013 28 September<\/p>\n<p>Poundland, Newport, Shropshire \u2013 28 September<\/p>\n<p>Poundland, Ripley, Derbyshire \u2013 28 September<\/p>\n<p>Poundland, Swanley \u2013 28 September<\/p>\n<p>Poundland, Uttoxeter \u2013 28 September<\/p>\n<p>Poundland, Partick, Glasgow \u2013 28 September<\/p>\n<p>Hobbycraft, Stafford \u2013 28 September<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ten more well-known stores will shut their doors for good over the next 7 days, dealing another heavy&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150999,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,722,2451,1125,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-150998","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-gb","10":"tag-marks-and-spencer","11":"tag-poundland","12":"tag-store-closures","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
