On this day in 2024: Marks & Spencer's last day at The Broadway
On this day in 2024, the Telegraph and Argus reported that Marks & Spencer was having its final day of trading at The Broadway in Bradford. The store, which had been a fixture in the city shopping centre since 2015, closed its doors for good on Saturday, May 18, 2024. Shoppers visited the store one last time, with the food hall's shelves nearly empty and the café offering a limited menu. A Bradford woman said: "It's sad that it's shutting. "I shopped for food, and now and again I would shop in other parts of the store. "It was part of my daily routine. "Now I probably won't shop in the shopping centre anymore. "I will be sad to see it go. "I live nearby and I always stopped there on my way home from work." "I'm disappointed," said another woman who did some shopping in the food hall on the last day. "There's nothing left on the shelves. "I shopped for food there and they did some good meal deals in the food hall. "They're not as expensive as people think and they sell some quality clothes." "It's so sad to see it go,' said a Bradford man. "You could get some quality clothes and nice food in the store and food hall. "But I really liked visiting the café. "It was a great place to meet and have lunch or a coffee."

Grubhub Owner Wonder Tops $7 Billion Valuation in New Funding
Wonder, the food hall company that owns Grubhub and Blue Apron, has raised $600 million in new financing, said Chief Executive Officer Marc Lore — a deal that brings the company closer to creating what Lore calls a 'super app for mealtime.' The new funding brings the company's valuation to more than $7 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The startup declined to comment on its valuation.
