As Marks & Spencer opened its Foodhall in Newark for the first time on Tuesday (March 29), and shoppers queued to get their first glimpse of the delights inside, we wondered what customers really thought once they'd had a chance to step inside. Had the store lived up to the expectation and anticipation?
One of the first customers through the door on the opening morning was 65-year-old Sue Crosby. The Newark resident said: “It’s been a long time coming, we have needed it for a long time."
Ms Crosby, who is retired, explained how she used to shop at the former M&S in the town centre but that it was difficult getting the shopping back to car. It's a problem customers at this store won’t have thanks to its 100 space car park. She added: “It’s great, it is a positive move for the people of Newark".
