Shoppers only have a few days to wait before the foodhall opens its door
Marks & Spencer has confirmed the opening date for a huge foodhall in Sydenham – and shoppers don’t have long to wait. The new shop at Bell Green Retail Park is welcoming customers from 8am on Wednesday, September 16
Covering 14,600 sq ft, the market-style shop boasts a bakery and coffee counter, as well as flower and wine sections. Over 50 members of staff have been hired ahead of the launch.
Store manager Richard Conelly said: “It’s less than a week to go until we unveil our first Sydenham store and we can’t wait. We’re so excited to be part of the community and the team have been hard at work getting everything ready ahead of next Wednesday.
“We have so many products for customers to explore inside, from well-known favourites to brand-new seasonal launches, and everything customers need for their weekly shop.”
Bell Green Sydenham is the third of four new M&S stores opening across London this financial year, following openings in Tooting and Tottenham Court Road. A further store in Elephant and Castle is set to open next month.
Recently, hundreds of people queued to be the first in the upgraded M&S in Clapham Junction. The store reopened in early September after a seven-week makeover, bringing 500 new products to its shelves
M&S is aiming to double the size of its food business by growing its store footprint and expanding existing stores across the capital and the UK to offer a wider range of products in its move to be a shopping list retailer, the supermarket chain said.
You can find M&S Sydenham at Unit 5A, Bell Green Retail Park, SE26 4PR, from Wednesday, September 16. It will be open between 8am and 9pm Monday to Saturday and between 10.30am and 4pm Sundays,
