M&S Expanding its Food Business with New Standalone Food Hall

At 22000 square feet, M&S opened its largest standalone food hall at the Wharf Retail Park in Godalming, Surrey. 

The food store includes an in-store bakery, produce and wine areas, cheese barge, Mai Sushi, a rotisserie chicken counter and kitchenware department. The store features M&S’s new design concept with “improved navigation, updated décor, new signage, wider fresh areas and upgraded tills,” according to a press release.

“We’re doubling our Food business with investment where family customers are asking for it most: bigger, better stores and more trusted value on the products families buy every week,” Alex Freudmann, Managing Director of M&S Food, said in a press release. “Godalming is our biggest ever standalone Food store and an example of the kind of modern, full-range Foodhall we’re investing in as we double the size of the business. It brings together the full M&S Food range, more space for the weekly shop and the latest store design so customers can get everything they need in one trip, without compromising on the M&S quality they expect.”
