M&S has officially opened its new 83,000 sq ft flagship store at Southgate Bath. Spanning four floors, the relocated store—formerly based on Stall Street—brings together an expanded offering across M&S Fashion, Home and Beauty under one roof.
Three dedicated fashion floors showcase brand-new collections, including Autograph womenswear and the heritage label Jaeger in menswear, M&S said in a press release.
“We have a fantastic history in Bath, dating back to 1895 and it is brilliant to be investing in a brand-new flagship store in the city centre. Our focus is now delivering the trusted value and exceptional quality we’re known for – alongside a touch of that M&S magic,” Natalie Jordan, store manager at Bath SouthGate, has worked at M&S for over a decade and leads the team of 280 colleagues.
Bath SouthGate is one of more than 20 new or renewed stores M&S is launching across the UK in the second half of this financial year.
“We are delighted to welcome Marks and Spencer to SouthGate Bath; they are the perfect addition to our strong line up and further enhance the mix for our visitors. SouthGate’s prominent city centre location and strong transport links create a compelling offer, and with this the scheme is now fully let. This opening is a great way to start a transformational year for SouthGate, building on other recent openings, including Sunglass Hut, Zara and Rituals, with more exciting news to come,” Laurence Budden, senior asset manager at British Land, said.
