A number of well-known UK high street retailers are set to close some of their branches this month, with brands like Poundland, River Island, and Marks & Spencer being affected.
The closures are being attributed to a combination of factors, including the spike in energy bills, rising rents, and increased National Insurance contributions.
An increase in online shopping has also contributed to the hardship faced by these retailers by reducing foot traffic in town and city centers.
The closures reflect a challenging economic climate for the retail sector, as businesses struggle to adapt to changing consumer behaviors and a difficult operating environment.
The loss of these physical stores will have a significant impact on local communities and shopping districts across the country.
