Queues of people lined up outside the new Bristol Sparks store in Broadmead which opened at middaytoday (Saturday May 13). The huge new department store has replaced the old Marks and Spencer.
There was a buzz of excitement as shoppers were allowed through the doors to “the department store with a difference” as it’s no longer where you only buy clothes, but also to get advice, be educated and express creativity.
Taking a look through the ground floor, there’s still plenty of fashion along with a host of other offerings. This includes an energy help desk, a Baby Bank Network and an art gallery to name a few, as well as a range of food and drink and lovely gift shops.
