M&S to open in Wilmslow

Marks and Spencer will be opening a food store in Wilmslow towards the end of the year.

M&S Simply Food will be located at the BP petrol station on Alderley Road and opening sometime in November.

BP has recently taken over the site from the BP dealer and it will become a BP company owned site offering a wide range of goods, hot and cold drinks and the BP Wild Bean café offer.

A BP spokesperson said "The re development will cost over £1million - the current site will be knocked down and a new site built. Work usually takes around three months to compete. All this is obviously subject to planning permission from the local district council.

"The store, which will open in November, will offer motorists the chance to fill up their shopping baskets at the same time as they fill up with fuel. It is likely to be open 24/7 and provide customers with a selected range of Marks & Spencer's high quality fresh, innovative food ranges.

"There are between 600 and 800 products available including ready meals, fresh produce, sandwiches, wine, flowers and groceries alongside BP's Wild Bean Café, multi-branded impulse and fuel offers."

The BP partnership with M&S Simply Food was established in 2005 when eight sites were opened, there are now over 160.

At least 20 new jobs will be created.
