Reopen the M&S in North Leicester
M&S Thurmaston served the North Leicester community for 16 years before being forced to close following the major fire at Thurmaston Shopping Centre in June. M&S has confirmed the store will not reopen, but has said it hopes to find an alternative site in North Leicester. We are calling for M&S to open a replacement store and continue serving the community that has supported it for 16 years. The closure should not mean the end of M&S in North Leicester.

M&S is probably the best shop at the Thurmaston shopping centre. There's not much worth going up there for now. It's also much more convenient for those who don't want to go to Fosse Park. Please re-open, M&S.
Close Asda, open big m&s! It was a busy little store and accessable, Loughborough oadby and fosse park are all inaccessible and 2 bus rides away for those that don't drive
Fosse park is too far to travel, thurmaston is the local hub for people that can’t travel that far, leaving them without decent food, in the area , we need the store back!
We all miss Mark's & Spencer's. Always get family birthday cakes from there. The whole of Thurmaston want our store back.
Such a popular shop in a very busy area. Please don’t take it away.
Just need a local M&S food store
we want you back
