A DAY of entertainment will mark the opening of Marks & Spencer Simply Food in Evesham next Wednesday, November 13.

The shop has launched the details of its opening event next week, which kicks off at 10am and features free glasses of prosecco and an in-store DJ.

The doors will open after store manager, Sean Phillips, cuts the ribbon alongside more than 60 new employees.

Following the opening of the new 10,000 sq ft store, shoppers will be invited inside where they will find up to 3,000 quality M&S food and drink products, including those from the newly launched Cook With and Gastro Limited Edition ranges.

Shoppers visiting between noon and 2pm on the opening day will also have a chance to win a share of £1,000 of M&S Gift Cards in an in-store competition hosted by Touch 102 FM’s breakfast show presenter, Ollie Gallant.

Mr Phillips said: “The whole team at M&S Simply Food Evesham are really looking forward to opening our doors in Evesham Shopping Park in a few weeks’ time.

“We hope that people from across Worcestershire will join us on November 13 to see all the exciting products in-store along with our in-store Bakery and 50-seat Café, which will serve Fairtrade tea and coffee as well as sandwiches, cakes and a range of hot snacks.

“M&S Simply Food is a great addition to the retail park and I can’t wait to invite our customers to come and experience our renowned quality food range.”

The store will also offer shoppers the opportunity to Shop Your Way, allowing them to order either online or in-store from M&S’ full product range, including clothing, with free next day delivery when collecting in-store.
