Marks & Spencer's first-ever 'eco' store was unveiled with a traditional ribbon cutting ceremony led by the Store Manager, Aaron Spicer and the Deputy Mayor of Bournemouth Councillor Bob Chapman.
Celebrations continued in-store where customers were treated to complimentary champagne, live music and cooking demonstrations. In addition, personal shoppers were on hand to offer customers help and advice on Fairtrade, organic and recycled products across fashion, food and home.
After undergoing an 'eco-conversion' to improve its energy efficiency, the 51,000 sq ft store now incorporates a whole host of 'eco' features in line with M&S' Plan A initiative, including using up to 25 per cent less energy than before the refurbishment, being powered with green renewable energy and boasting a number of water saving initiatives.
In addition to its eco-conversion, the store has undergone a complete re-design in line with M&S' latest signature style with contemporary interior design, brighter lighting, easy to navigate walkways and more spacious fitting rooms.
Aaron Spicer, Marks & Spencer Bournemouth Store Manager commented: “The redevelopment of the store to make it Marks & Spencer's first 'green' store has been an exciting time for us. Both customers and staff are delighted with the final results and are looking forward to exploring the new 'eco-friendly' features. What's more our fantastic new-look store brings a refreshing shopping experience to Bournemouth and we're confident customers will enjoy their trips to M&S even more.”
