It’s time – after months of anticipation, Marks & Spencer has today (Thursday 16th November) officially opened its amazing new Foodhall in Earlsfield. The M&S Earlsfield team gathered at the store entrance at 9am with Store Manager, Connor Heaver, joined by guest of honour Percy Pig, to cut the ribbon and declare the store officially open.

Inside the brand-new 7,000 sq ft Foodhall, customers will find a new fresh-market design, 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 find a dedicated M&S Wine Shop featuring an award-winning selection of popular favourites in the M&S Classics range, and new varieties to discover from unexpected locations in the “Found” range.

And with a wide range of M&S Remarksable products – including Super Soft sliced bread, RSPCA Assured fresh milk, and beef mince from trusted M&S Select Farmers – the new Foodhall will deliver great quality and trusted value for local customers.
In addition, there are new digital Click and Collect points for shopping at marksandspencer.com and an expanded M&S Frozen section – all making the shopping experience more convenient for local families.

The team have been counting down the days to opening, and this morning hundreds of local customers started queuing from 7:30am to get the first look inside the store. And to surprise those dedicated customers, Percy Pig was on-hand to welcome shoppers to the new store as the team handed out 200 golden tickets to the first people through the door. Every golden ticket holder was guaranteed a win – whether it’s a free bag of Percy Pigs or freshly baked cookies from the new M&S bakery, and to mark the occasion one lucky customer won a £200 M&S voucher!

An opening day of celebrations, Store Manager Connor Heaver, who has worked at M&S for a number of years, said: “We are thrilled to officially open our brand-new store in Earlsfield today. 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 our team of 65 colleagues for all their hard work to make sure everything is ready for our customers today.

“The store is an exciting investment in the future of M&S in London, and I can’t wait for our customers to explore all the new features that the store has to offer. With our amazing new, fresh market feel Foodhall, we really do have the best of M&S here for everyone to enjoy!”

The new-look, M&S Earlsfield store represents a significant investment in the local economy and follows the retailer’s announcement that it plans to invest c.£500 million in its store rotation programme, creating over 3,400 new jobs nationwide.

Located within The Wandle Quarter, and only a short walk away from the station, the new M&S Earlsfield Foodhall is ideal for both bigger basket family shopping or for those popping in on the commute home. The store is located at 150a-170 Penwith Road, London, SW18 4QA and is open from 8am-10pm Monday-Saturday, and 11am-5pm on Sundays.
