Retailer Marks and Spencer has announced plans to open 20 new shops across the UK in a move that will create more than 3,400 jobs. This includes two in Greater Manchester.
It was announced earlier this year that M&S would be opening a new 'megastore' in the Trafford Centre, taking over the empty Debenhams unit. This unit has been empty since 2021 with M&S moving from it's current site within the centre to this one.
However, it has been announced this morning that the retailer will be opening another new store in Greater Manchester - a new food hall in Stockport. Stockport did have an M&S food hall up until April 2021, when it's branch in the Merseyway Shopping Centre closed, but it looks set to return to the town once more.
