 PROFILE
St. Michael might be a popular brand sold by Marks and Spencer, but the saint himself must have listened to his share of petitions from the retailer recently. The UK's largest seller of clothing is selling off operations around the globe in order to salvage its 300 or so Marks & Spencer stores in the UK. The stores sell mid-priced clothing, food, and household items. The struggling retailer has been cursed by costly, unwieldy operations. To that end, Marks and Spencer annouced plans to sell more than 220 Brooks Brothers clothing stores in the US and Asia, as well as its 25-store Kings Super Markets chain in New Jersey. Marks and Spencer is also closing its catalog business.
