Popular retailer Marks & Spencer has revealed plans for the opening of its brand-new foodhall on the North Coast.
Set to open its doors to the public at 9am on Tuesday 30 January 2024, the state-of-the-art renewal store will see M&S become a flagship retailer in Coleraine’s Riverside Retail Park.
The store represents a significant investment by Marks & Spencer and will create 30 new jobs in the area.
The new foodhall will span more than 11,500 sq ft and offer a fresh ‘market-feel’ shopping experience as well as thousands of new product lines. Customers will be able to take advantage of the store’s Scan and Shop facilities, have the chance to ‘pick their own eggs’, check out the in- store cheese barge and wine shop with tasting station, and head to the in-store bakery for a selection of fresh breads and pastries baked throughout the day. For the first time, the Coleraine store will also feature a full beers, wine and spirits department.
For junior shoppers, the new store will also offer the new popular ‘Colin World’ feature where they can discover the latest range based on everyone’s favourite cake.
Marks & Spencer Coleraine will also offer the full range of M&S Clothing and Home products via its Collect in Store service where customers can order online at M&S.com and enjoy quick collections and hassle-free returns seven days a week.
