Marks & Spencer has unveiled plans to expand its store at The Crown Estate’s Fosse Park in Leicestershire.
The retailer is expanding its anchor store by 11,500 sq ft by expanding into a vacant adjacent unit, taking its total footprint at the park to more than 100,000 sq ft.
Nicole Campbell, senior asset manager at The Crown Estate, said: “The M&S Fosse Park expansion signifies both the brand’s resonance with our shoppers and highlights Fosse Park’s position as one of the nation’s most successful shopping destinations. Located conveniently close to the M1, we are seeing visitors come from further afield, with footfall growing year on year. The expanded M&S and new brands will only increase the appeal of Fosse Park. The M&S decision to invest in Fosse Park through this expansion speaks to the strength of the destination.”
Andy Frith, Marks & Spencer’s store manager at Fosse Park, said: “We want to deliver a brilliant shopping experience for our customers and the very best of M&S. This investment – M&S’ biggest single renewal investment to date – will mean we can create a brand defining store here in Leicestershire.
“The store team and I are incredibly excited about the transformation and we can’t wait to show customers the new womenswear department this week and all the changes we have planned between now and autumn!”
