Marks and Spencer is all set to open a new store at the Cotswolds Designer Outlet near junction 9 of the M5. The Outlet, located in Platinum Drive, Ashchurch, is expected to be completed in early summer 2025 and will feature a range of brands including Wagamama, Rituals, Puma, and Zizzi.
The proposal includes signage for the new M&S Outlet, aiming to align with the company’s brand image and ensure easy recognition for customers. This new outlet store will mark the second M&S store opening in Gloucestershire this year, alongside the upcoming M&S Food store at Centrum Retail Park in Cheltenham.
In addition to existing outlets in Gloucester Quays, Gloucester’s Eastgate Street, and Cheltenham’s High Street, the Cotswolds Designer Outlet is expected to bring around 90 shops and restaurants, creating approximately 500 jobs.
