I don't think there is a thread for this. Clothes shops are non-essential and M&S are only opening their food halls and not their clothing departments.
I understand why but it got me wondering, are all supermarkets not selling clothes in store at this time?
I can't check myself as I'm semi-shielding.
Also I see Argos stores in Sainsburys can be used for collection for online orders but cannot sell anything. I assume this is due to it being non-essential. All standalone stores are however closed and not even open for online collections only.
If anyone has any other retail questions or interesting bits relating to the coronavirus and retails, then please add them to this thread.

https://www.argos.co.uk/features/service-disruptions?tag=ar:propbar:covid19Following the Prime Minister’s announcement, standalone Argos stores are now closed.
Argos stores in Sainsbury’s supermarkets are also still open, but only to collect orders that have been paid for online.
We would strongly encourage you to order items for home delivery, and to only collect whilst doing your essential food shopping at Sainsbury’s.
