It’s time - after months of anticipation, Marks & Spencer has today, Wednesday 20th November, officially opened its amazing new Plymouth Derriford store. The M&S team gathered at the store entrance this morning with the Store Manager, Sean Pearce, who was joined by guest of honour, Ms Dilys Tapper, Customer Assistant to cut the ribbon and declare the store officially open.
Percy Pig was also on hand to greet customers as they experienced the store’s amazing new features for the first time.
Located on Bravo Way in Derriford, the new 14k sq ft Foodhall with a generous retail park car park is ideal for bigger family shopping. The new store offers customers a fresh market-style Foodhall, with displays brimming with great quality, trusted value produce from M&S Select Farms, and a show-stopping bakery offering fresh daily-baked bread and pastries, including M&S Collection Sourdough – made through a traditional 30-hour process – and the exclusive M&S Yumnuts™. Customers will also be able to enjoy a takeaway from the new M&S Coffee Counter next to the in-store bakery, a sensational selection of cheeses and a dedicated M&S Wine Shop.
Over 100 Remarksable value everyday staples will also be available across the store, price benchmarked against key competitors and with an M&S quality point of difference – all part of the retailer’s trusted value promise.
With the festive season just around the corner, M&S Plymouth shoppers will be able to stock up on the most magical Christmas food line up from the build your own Charcuter-Tree to recently launched Choc Marks bars and Swiss Caramel and Milk Chocolate Clouds.
Soaking up the opening day celebrations, Store Manager Sean Pearce, who has worked at M&S for 12 years said, “We are thrilled to officially open our brand-new Plymouth Derriford store today, which is twice the size of the old Crownhill store. The last few weeks have been so exciting for us all as we’ve seen the store take shape, and I’d like to thank everyone in the team for all their hard work to make sure everything is ready for our loyal customers today. The atmosphere in the store has been electric today and we have loved welcoming new and familiar faces through the doors. We really do encourage local shoppers to come down and try the store out for themselves – they won’t be disappointed!”
The store is at 1 Bravo Way, Derriford, PL6 5GA. The store’s opening hours are between 8am and 8pm, Monday to Saturday and between 10am and 4pm on Sundays.
