Marks & Spencer acquires ASOS warehouse for £67.5m expansion. The British retailer has secured a conditional deal to purchase a 437,000 square foot automated distribution centre in Lichfield, Staffordshire. This strategic acquisition marks a significant move in M&S's effort to double its online sales and strengthen its e-commerce capabilities. The former ASOS facility represents a critical infrastructure investment as traditional retailers increasingly compete in the digital fashion space. The warehouse's automation technology will enable M&S to improve order fulfillment speeds and operational efficiency across its online channels. This deal reflects broader industry trends where established retailers are investing heavily in logistics and distribution networks to compete with pure-play e-commerce players.
