M&S Food is expanding in London with six new or transformed stores opening between now and the end of the year.

The new and transformed stores are part M&S’ £90 million investment in London which includes six new foodhall openings and eleven renewals in the current financial year.
The retailer is also planning to relaunch its renewed Chiswick store in early December. Combined the six new openings and renewals have created over 200 new jobs.
Thinus Keeve, retail director at M&S, said: “We want to be proud of every store we have across the capital and as we reshape for growth, our focus is opening new stores to grow our footprint but also renewing those stores where we can deliver a better shopping experience for our customers.
“It’s brilliant to have such a strong property pipeline across London in the months ahead. We want to bring more of that M&S magic to communities and on the commute, and we’re doing just that, just in time for the festive season.”
Operated by franchise partner SSP, M&S Food at Paddington station will undergo a renewal next month.
