SPAIN: El Corte Ingles Opens M&S Stores
Leading Spanish retailer El Corte Ingles on Tuesday opened the nine department stores it bought off UK retailer Marks & Spencer for $134 million earlier this year. The stores, located in Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Seville and Valencia in Spain, opened just three days after M&S closed them on Saturday after the British firm's decision to close all its outlets in continental Europe.
