M&S Sprucefield Foodhall transformed in ‘renewal programme’
Marks & Spencer has transformed its Lisburn Foodhall at Sprucefield, showcasing a brand-new look and shopping experience for customers.
Bringing 30 jobs to the local area, M&S Lisburn is only the second store in Northern Ireland to undergo this renewal programme, with the addition of new and exciting in-store features.
Bigger, better, fresher
JP McShane, M&S Lisburn Store Manager and who is celebrating 25 years of service with M&S said: “For the last few months we have been busy making our Foodhall bigger, better and fresher and I’m extremely proud to finally unveil the finished result to our customers. With a wider choice, from everyday staples to treats for special occasions, customers are in for a warm welcome and a big surprise with all the changes we’ve made!”
Mai
sushi counter
The new look store is easier to shop with lots of amazing features including a brand new Mai Sushi counter with freshly prepared sashimi and sushi, bigger grocery and frozen departments, an Instagram-worthy rotisserie chicken station and new interactive elements such as a talking Percy Pig and “moo-ing” dairy cows have been added to aisles throughout the Foodhall, promising to keep kids entertained during the weekly shop. New checkouts and quicker ways to pay complete our new food shopping experience.
The brand new in-store bakery will bake bread throughout the day so customers can always buy something fresh out of the oven. The new look wine shop will feature an award-winning selection including iconic classics and new varieties to discover from unexpected locations.
JP continues: “There’s so much more to see in-store – a new cheese barge showcases our best cheese selection ever, handpicked from Europe’s best cheesemakers, and our ‘Fill Your Own’ selection reduces packaging and food waste by giving customers the option to fill their own containers and stock up on M&S quality essentials like pasta, rice, cereal and even frozen fruits and pastries.
Local sourcing
“Sourcing locally is really important to us so we’re delighted to be launching some fantastic new products being produced by our local supply base here including five new vegan lines to the M&S Plant Kitchen range from Finnebrogue Artisan and a new Burger Slaw from Avondale Foods. Northern Ireland is one of our biggest supply regions with 11 direct suppliers and around 1,600 farms producing quality produce for us.
New ways to pay
M&S customers can also make the most of new ways to pay, including M&S Sparks shoppers who will be able to use the M&S app to skip the queue by using the ‘Scan & Shop’ option. Each week, a few lucky Sparks customers will also be surprised with M&S gifts and one Sparks shopper will be treated to a free food shop every day for the next five days. A recipient will be chosen at random and whatever is in their trolley will be complimentary!
