The opening of a new M&S Food store at the Centrum Retail Park in Cheltenham is just around the corner, scheduled for Wednesday, April 9. The upcoming store, occupying a 15,000 square foot space, is geared up to delight customers with an expanded range of M&S Food products and brand-new features.
The location is significant as it marks the replacement of the old M&S Foodhall at Kingsditch Retail Park, which shuttered in June 2024 along with the adjacent M&S Home store. The upcoming store will be strategically positioned between Dunelm and The Range, providing convenient access for shoppers.
Fresh images of the nearly completed store reveal the progress leading up to the grand opening. Among the highlights, the new M&S Foodhall promises a fresh market-style layout, an assortment of produce from M&S Select Farms, and an impressive M&S Bakery offering freshly baked bread and pastries.
