M&S has officially opened the doors to its transformed Aldergrove store at 9am today, following a major transformation which has seen the store increase in size by 50% and bring more M&S Food products and services to the local community.
Four colleagues, who have been part of the Aldergrove team since the store first opened in 2017, Betty Surname, Steph Surname, Dawn Surname and Maggie Surname, took the honours of cutting the ribbon to mark the occasion.
Customers can now enjoy more than 2,000 additional products, alongside a refreshed layout and a number of new features, including a larger in-store bakery, upgraded coffee-to-go facilities and a frozen food range for the first time at Aldergrove.
The expanded store also offers a wider selection of M&S Food, including more Remarksable Value and Bigger Pack Better Value products, as well as new product launches and an increased range of organic choices.
Additional self-checkout tills have also been introduced, while customers can continue to make use of the store’s Click & Collect service.
Aldergrove is the latest M&S store in Northern Ireland to undergo the store rotation and renewal programme, which is focused on creating bigger, fresher Food stores with an expanded product range and improved facilities for customers.
David Brady, M&S Aldergrove Store Manager, said: “It’s fantastic to finally welcome customers into our transformed Aldergrove store. The team has worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to get everything ready, and it was a particularly special moment to have four colleagues who have been part of the store since day one cut the ribbon.
“We’re delighted with the transformation, and the additional space means we can offer our customers even more of the M&S Food they know and love, alongside new products, services and features. We’re really looking forward to welcoming the local community back into store to see the changes for themselves.”
The transformed store is now open to customers, with the team ready to welcome the local community and showcase the new and improved M&S Food offer.
