Marks & Spencer have issued the following press release announcing the reopening of their Food store at Brighton station:

Marks & Spencer and its travel retail partner, SSP Group, have officially reopened the refurbished M&S Food store at Brighton train station.

The M&S Brighton store team gathered at the store entrance this morning with special guest Percy Pig to cut the ribbon and declare the store officially reopen after a significant upgrade, which includes a brand new in-store bakery.

Located on the main concourse, the store also offers customers a wide range of Food on the Move sandwiches, salads, snacks and drinks alongside the bakery, which serves a selection of pastries and freshly baked bread, including the retailer’s signature Collection Sourdough with each loaf taking more than 30 hours to make, and the exclusive M&S Yumnuts™.

For those looking to liven-up their picnic or train journey, the store also has an amazing range of seasonal treats, including Red Diamond strawberries and more.

Customers can also find a variety of fruit and vegetables, Deli options and tasty selection of pizzas. There is also plenty of Summer go-to options, from must-try dips of the season such as Creamy Chicken Caesar to delicious picky bits down the deli aisle.

Click & Collect is also available in-store for those wanting to collect their online M&S orders.

Andy Webb, Commercial Director for SSP UK and Ireland, said: “It’s fantastic to reopen our doors today offering an improved customer experience and expanded M&S range. The store has been transformed into a brighter, modern and more fun place to grab a lunch, snacks for the train or dinner on the go for our local customers and those visiting Brighton.”

Their upgrade is great news for our customers, who can enjoy even more of the quality and choice that M&S offer.

As passenger numbers recover, station retail units are once more being seen as good opportunities for thriving trade. We’re looking forward to a great variety of high-quality retail openings at stations across the network.”
