UK: M&S SHELVES BROOKS BROTHERS PLAN

Article Abstract:

UK-based retail group, Marks & Spencer (M&S), has shelved plans to set up Brooks Brothers outlets in the UK, preferring instead to enhance its core operations in this country. M&S had been evaluating London sites for the US-style store as part of an international expansion plan but ongoing problems in the UK and Brooks' dismal showing in the US have led to a change of heart. M&S will look to transform the 150 existing Brooks outlets in the US rather than open 100 totally new stores.
