M&S announce 20 new store openings, 12 food halls and the creation of 3400 new jobs

Eight large stores will open in shopping centres, retail parks and on high streets nationwide as part of the expansion.

It followed last year's announcement from M&S in relation to the restructuring of high street stores. Three other notable openings include Birmingham Bullring's 65,000 square foot site that's set to open in the autumn, alongside Manchester’s 96,000 Trafford Centre store and a 98,000 square foot store in Lakeside Thurrock which will both open this winter.

So how is it that the closure of the M&S Food store opposite Chelmsford train station (there since 2007) was announced just 5 days ago?
