Food retailer to create 45 new jobs in Bath


One of the UK’s best-known upmarket retailers is set to create 45 new jobs in Bath with the opening of a new food hall, a recent news report in the local media has been able to find.

Marks & Spencer is set to launch a new 8,500 sq ft. Foodhall in the Weston Lock Retail Park on 15 June 2016. The outlet on Lower Bristol Road will provide more than 6,500 products and will include a Coffee to Go.

In a trading update for the fourth quarter of the year, for the 13 weeks to 26 March 2016, Marks & Spencer reported a 4 per cent increase in food sales and its chief executive Steve Rowe, who officially became chief executive on 2 April, said overall group sales also grew by 1.9 per cent for the quarter.

Marks & Spencer’s store manager Stacey Williams said: "Launching the store in the summer means we have lots of great picnic and BBQ foods to choose from, including our Spirit of Summer range which takes inspiration from the bars, restaurants and food stalls of South and Central America, as well as the Southern states of the USA."
