  6. Oh no! This is sad news. Marks & Spencer was part of my childhood. All my gradeschool and highschool St. Michael's socks were bought from their store. They have nice fitting jeans as well. Need to hoard their stuff before they close for good.

    1. I remember these. The knitted ones with various designs, minsan may heart. Using "St. Michaels" kinda dates us, IYKYK.

    2. Yes sis!!! The knitted socks! Na parang Nakaka angat angat ka sa buhay kapag ganon socks mo.

    3. OMG! I can relate! This news is personal to me kasi Marks & Spencer has been part of my teenage life. I remember the knitted socks. I still have 3 pairs with me. 😊 I have sleepwear, jeans, trousers, tops, undies, shoes and bags. And now that I have gained a lot of weight, meron silang size 12 and 14 na kasya sa akin. M&S is my go-to shop. Extremely sad they’re closing. πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ₯²

    2. 833 ang mahirap dun hindi sila nasisingil ng tamang tax. Hindi sila nagbibigay ng official receipts.

  11. As a guy, 80% of my clothes were bought from them because I find the quality and design of their products better than the likes of Zara and Uniqlo . I only buy lang naman kapag nag-sale sila ng >40%, which alam ko na which times of the year. How sad, now I have to buy somewhere else.

    1. Uniqlo naman kasi is budget clothes kaya hindi pwedeng ikumpara sa M&S.

      Delete
    2. It's never about the store. Look at the material. May ibang ok sa Uniqlo at Zara and M&S na rin. You just need to read labels.

  12. Oh no! Dito pa naman ako namimili ng digestives and tea pang regalo every holiday season for almost 10 years na huhu. You will be missed!

    1. Saaame! Digestives rin ang go-to gift ko pag Christmas! Bukod sa packaging eh masarap din talaga

  13. Ala napansin ko nawala na sila sa isang online app so iyon na pala

    ReplyDelete
  14. Dito perfume ko na katerno ng lotion, mga sale na polo, blazers and pants, digestives, even mints. Walang kasing ganda ng quality ang products nila. Practical finds lalo pag sale, pang matagalan ang ganda ng quality ng gamit nila.

    1. Apir! Ang bango ng personal and hygiene products nila.

    2. Even better sa Uniqlo and H&M. Im also a loyal customer of Mark & Spencer….

      Delete
    3. Lower price naman kasi ang UNiqlo and H&M 12:29. Nasa level sila ng Bench.

      Delete
  15. Sad naman sana mag retain sila kahit isang branch.

    1. Not like before. Pati sa S and R konti na lang bumili ang mga tao.

      Delete
    2. I beg to disagree with s and r. Dito sa province namin, ang dami and dinadayo pa ng mga taga Ilocos ag La Union

      Delete
    3. 728 I compared it to previous years. Also, you can't compare the volumes between sa province at Metro Manila na medyo mas accessible ang S and R locations.

  26. Just saw it on the news, M&S is staying in the Philippines but under a different franchise partner. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜

  27. I was looking for M&S in MOA last month. The guard told me they closed around October 2025

  28. Marami pala akong rich classmates dito sa FP. Di nga lang ako makarelate sa M&S memories nila, dahil pobreta lang kasi ako, kaya hanggang sa palengke lang ako binibilhan ng aking mabait na nanay ng mga medyas, pati mga notebook na mga artista pa ang nasa cover, tsarot🀣
