WORK is progressing on the new M&S Foodhall in Wrexham. 

The Leader reported in February that the existing M&S store on Eagles Meadow will be closing its doors later year. 

However, a new M&S Foodhall situated on Plas Coch retail park is currently being built - which will open this autumn. 

And on Sunday (April 16), Rhosddu councillor Marc Jones shared an image on Facebook showing the progress of the new Foodhall. 

David Hughes, regional manager for M&S, said in February: “We are announcing plans to open a brand-new M&S Foodhall in the Plas Coch Retail Park. It will offer our customers in Wrexham a brilliant food shopping experience with a fresh marketplace design, almost fifty per cent more space for food and a range of exciting new features including a cheese barge, digital wine-tasting and a bigger in-store bakery.

"Shopping habits are changing, and we are reshaping our store estate across M&S to focus our investment on the right stores in the right places."

He added: “Our investment in this new store means we will be closing our existing store in Eagles Meadow Shopping Centre in the city centre when the lease expires later this year.

"We have informed our colleagues of our relocation plans and our priority is to support them through these changes. Many colleagues will transfer over to the new Foodhall and there will also be opportunities to work in other stores.

"Our new M&S Wrexham Foodhall will open in Autumn 2023 and we will keep our current store open until this time.”
