Kingfisher and MARKS eying up some of the remaining Homebase stores.



Apart from some minimum shop fit and stock they could be ready to go.

Twenty five good stores could give them a million or so profit as store if they are in the right location.

Honestly,

There are much better things to petition the government about.

A petition was already voted on by the UK and that’s why there’s been a shift in government… This is now sounding like Scotland and the re-re run of another independence vote! 🤷🏽

In Grocery Gazette’s new Meet the Tastemaker content series, we speak to the innovation specialists at the UK’s leading supermarkets and food retailers to find out where they find inspiration for new products and how they transform the shelves of UK grocery stores.
To kickstart the series, we speak with M&S Food product development manager Marie Ford.

The past few months has seen M&S doubling down on its new and improved ranges as investment into innovation saw food sales jump 8.1% in the first half of 2024.

Meanwhile, many of the upmarket retailer’s products have gone viral on social media, from the Big Daddy chocolate bar to the Chicken Caesar Dip as shoppers look to M&S for new and exciting innovations.

From visiting 50 Naples restaurants to develop the perfect ready-made pizza to the saying ‘if in doubt, add quality in’ emblazoned in neon on the team’s office wall, Ford tells Grocery Gazette how M&S is driving innovation and flavour in its product ranges.

Do you understand how the political system works in the UK?? A petition won't change anything on who is in government!

The crooks are out and we have to suffer a little pain before we get back on track

There will be mistakes along the way, but not the total shambles of the last 14 years where only the rich faired well...

Retail sales fall but to be honest I am not too bothered about Marks as they are gaining market share on both food and clothes.

M&S reveals plan for new Ipswich out-of-town store


Marks & Spencer (M&S) has announced plans to open a new store on the outskirts of Ipswich - while keeping its other branches in the town open.

Subject to planning permission, M&S hopes to open a 60,000-sq-ft (5574-sq-m) "show-stopping" food and clothing store at the Copdock Interchange, which it estimates will create more than 90 jobs.

It would "sit alongside" the retailer's existing outlets on Westgate Street, in the town centre, at Martlesham Heath Retail Park and at Ipswich Hospital, where there is an M&S convenience store.

Ipswich Borough Council leader Neil MacDonald welcomed the announcement, saying the investment would have a "positive impact".
