LONDON, May 26 (Reuters) - British retailer Marks & Spencer
expects online penetration of its clothing and home
business to reach up to one half, its boss said on Wednesday.
"The trend online has accelerated," M&S CEO Steve Rowe told
reporters after the group reported 2020-21 results.
"We thought about a third of our sales would be online, its
looks more like 40-50% in short order," he said.
As a result he said M&S was being prudent in examining the
size of its store estate.
