I’m going to feel quite sad when Marks & Spencer moves to its brand new Liverpool store.
That is not to say I think the relocation to South John Street is a waste of money, or that it will be a terrible place to shop. It’s likely that Liverpool’s shoppers will adore its brand new venue, which will feature a “next generation" food hall.
Furthermore, it’s a relief that the old Debenhams store will be given a new lease of life instead of laying empty in what is a prime location. I’ve not got much issue with the business either - the M&S food hall will be full of delicious ready meals, fresh ingredients and snacks as expected.
