In addition, the new store will feature an M&S Café, offering an array of hot and cold drinks, freshly made cakes, snacks and light meals.

Paul Nicoll has been with M&S for 30 years and will be taking on the role of the new store manager.

We can’t wait to welcome our first customers through our doors on Wednesday 30th August.”
