flag Marks & Spencer plans foodhall expansions in five Cumbrian towns as part of a UK-wide shift to more food-only stores.

flag Marks and Spencer plans to open or relocate foodhalls in five Cumbrian towns—Workington, Penrith, Carlisle, Barrow, and Ulverston—pending suitable sites, as part of a broader UK expansion to increase food-only stores from 328 to 420 while reducing full-line stores from 229 to 180 over three years. flag New or relocated stores outside London would be about 12,500 square feet with a two-acre site, 150-car parking, and road visibility, potentially in edge-of-town or out-of-town locations. flag The retailer is also exploring over 500 sites across the North West, North Wales, Midlands, and North East. flag M&S continues its 2040 net zero commitment with energy-efficient lighting and ultra-fast EV charging at select locations.
