Marks & Spencer has announced plans to open a 60,000 square foot food and clothing store at Nottingham’s Glitbrook Retail Park, in the summer of 2020.
This comes as part of the retailers plans to reshape its retail estate in order to give customers ‘the best shopping experience’, and also grow online clothing sales to be a third of total sales.
Sacha Berendji, retail, operations and property director at M&S said: “Customers’ shopping habits are changing and so it’s important we change to reflect the way they want to shop – seamlessly integrating our in-store and online experiences. Excitingly, in Nottingham reshaping our store estate means opening a big new store next summer that can best serve our customer needs, alongside our high street shop. Stores remain fundamental to how we serve customers and we can’t wait to open in this great location.”
Up to 150 new and existing M&S staff will work at the Nottingham store, with recruitment set to begin in the spring of 2020.
The store will stock a range of food products, with an emphasis on fresh produce. The clothing section of the store will stock fashion items across all categories and will feature a click and collect point.
