MARKS and Spencer is set to close a town centre in a shock move after decades on the high street.<\/p>\n
The posh shop, which has more than 405 stores across the UK, is to close its branch in King William Street, Blackburn to the surprise of shoppers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An exact date for the closure, which first opened in the 1980s, is yet to be confirmed by M&S.<\/p>\n
Customers have been left stunned by the decision, with many taking to social media to share their shock.<\/p>\n
Commenting on Facebook, one shopper said: "The town will be on its knees if M&S disappears."<\/p>\n
Another fumed: "Are you frigging joking? This is literally the only reason I go to Blackburn town centre this is a JOKE NOW!!!"<\/p>\n
