Stockport welcomed a brand-new M&S Foodhall to town today! 😍
, the new opening has created 104 jobs in the Stockport community, and follows the retailer’s recent announcement that it plans to invest £500m in its store rotation programme, creating over 3,400 new jobs nationwide. M&S formerly had an outpost in Stockport town centre until 2018, when it closed down its store in Merseyway shopping centre.
Once inside the 16,000 sq ft store, shoppers were able to check out the fresh-market-style foodhall, furnished with wooden crates brimming full of fresh produce and new M&S products. By the tills, a wall designed to mark the town’s famous landmarks - from the town hall and Plaza, to the Hat Works and Strawberry Studios - set the scene, while swish signage reading tongue-in-cheek captions such as ‘use your loaf’ and ‘not just cheese’ are also dotted around.
Other foodhall highlights include an impressive selection of cheese with everything you need to build the ultimate cheese board, over at a custom-made cheese barge counter. Customers can pick up exclusive-to-M&S Three-Year-Old Cornish Cruncher Cheddar here, as well as French hand-washed, soft and creamy Berthaut Epoisses AOP, and Gruyere , plus many more cheeses, as well as charcoal sourdough crackers, truffle olive oil , and double Gloucester cheese and sundried tomato bites.
Commenting on the new store opening, Anna Priest said: “We are thrilled to open our brand-new Foodhall today in Stockport. The last few weeks have been spent putting the finishing touches to our new store and I’m exceptionally proud of my amazing team who have all worked so hard to make sure everything is ready for our big opening day.”
