Marks & Spencer store in Brussels by the summer

Marks & Spencer used to have shops in Brussels and Antwerp, but the last store closed fourteen years ago.

In recent years the British retailer returned to the Belgian market with a web shop geared to Belgian consumers. 

That was in 2012, but many friends of Albion were disappointed that there were no physical shops where they could find their favourite purchases.

It was in 2001 under the leadership of its then Belgian CEO Luc Vandevelde that the UK retailer closed 38 stores across Europe including its Belgian shops.
