The company last week opened a brand-new store in Centrum Retail Park, located off Tewkesbury Road in Cheltenham.
In the new Foodhall, customers will find displays brimming with fresh produce, sourced from M&S’ Select Farm partners and the retailer’s Remarksable Value. The new store has also been fitted with a new in-store bakery, where customers can enjoy takeaway hot drinks, including barista-made coffee such as M&S’ famous Magic Coffee as well as enjoy a selection of bread and pastries throughout the day, including the popular Collection Sourdough, with each loaf made by a traditional 30-hour process.
Customers will also have a selection of cheeses to choose from the iconic M&S cheese barge. Other highlights include a new Click & Collect service to easily pick up online marksandspencer.com orders and a dedicated Flower Shop and Wine Shop.
And with Easter around the corner, the new store has a host of brand-new spring treats for all the family. The must-have Collection Easter eggs that are layered and loaded with decadent fillings and wow-worthy hot cross buns include new first to market flavours like indulgent Mini Millionaires, packed with salted caramel fudge pieces, dark chocolate and blonde chocolate chips.
Mel Tubby, Store Manager, who leads the store’s 80-strong team said: “It’s amazing to unveil our brand-new Cheltenham Centrum store. I cannot wait to see the response to the larger store, it is fifty per cent bigger and I am certain customers – both regular and new – are going to love shopping here. We’ve been part of the community in Cheltenham for years and our new store is an exciting investment in the future of M&S in the area. Personally, I can’t wait to see our customers explore all the features the store has to offer; from our fresh market-style Foodhall and a range of new features including displays of great quality, trusted value produce from M&S Select Farms and a showstopping new M&S Bakery offering fresh daily baked bread and pastries.”
