British retailer M&S opens brand-new store at Leamington Spa in UK

“In May, we set out a clear plan to accelerate this rotation and use the current market opportunity to go faster in securing strong sites for relocation. Today, we’re seeing that strategy in action, as we fully open the doors of our new store in Leamington Spa - the first of five fantastic former Debenhams sites we have acquired, with others located across the country in Birmingham Bullring, Leeds White Rose, Stevenage, and Llandudno,” Stuart Machin, chief operating officer & managing director of food at M&S, said in a post on the M&S website.

The store includes an updated Clothing & Home space to better showcase M&S’ latest ranges – which are supported by its new Digital Click & Collect proposition to make it easier and quicker for customers to shop the full M&S offer.

M&S has proposed closures of older stores in Maidstone, Bristol and Poole. “In each of these markets, we believe we are already well set up to serve customers thanks to our ongoing investment, whether that is at the Maidstone Eclipse Retail Store, which opened less than two years ago or through Cribbs Causeway in Bristol - one of our five 10x stores where we are trialling the latest digital innovations to radically improve customer experience,” said Machin.
