The company says it will close 11 of the 20 franchise stores in France.
“The protracted and complex export process following Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union has a significant impact on supplies,” he explains Marks&Spencer.
The stores will be closed in the coming months.
The other nine franchise stores in France are managed jointly with a partneri Lagardere Travel Retail, will continue to operate at airports and railway stations.
Already after Britain’s official withdrawal from the EU Marks&Spencer made adjustments to the food business in the Czech Republic, excluding sales of fresh and chilled products.
This situation can be explained by the fact that British companies are facing a shortage of truck drivers due to the coronavirus pandemic and brexitis.
