M&S is opening six new or transformed London stores between this week and Christmas.
The six include three that opened this week: a brand-new 5,300 sq ft fresh market-style Foodhall on Southampton Street in Covent Garden and Foodhalls in Temple Fortune and Wimbledon which have re-opened after major improvements.
Two more brand new Foodhalls are set to open in November, at Clapham Common and Fulham Broadway.
The sixth is another store to have undergone improvements, due to re-open in Chiswick in December.
The openings are part of a £90m investment in London announced by M&S earlier this year, driving six new Foodhall openings and 11 store transformations this financial year.
The ‘renewed’ stores gain new features such as a bakery & coffee counter, a market-style produce offer with fresh fruit & vegetables sourced from M&S Select Farms, and dedicated flower and wine shops.
“We want to be proud of every store we have across the capital and as we reshape for growth, our focus is opening new stores to grow our footprint but also renewing those stores where we can deliver a better shopping experience for our customers,” said M&S retail director Thinus Keeve.
“It’s brilliant to have such a strong property pipeline across London in the months ahead. We want to bring more of that M&S magic to communities and on the commute – and we’re doing just that, just in time for the festive season.”
