New M&S to open at Giltbrook Retail Park - creating up to 150 jobs

Plans have been revealed for a new M&S store at Giltbrook Retail Park.

The new store, which is set to open in summer 2020, will create 150 jobs.

Currently home to stores such as Decathlon, Next, TK Maxx as well as a centralised area of eateries, Giltbrook Retail Park is located three miles from the M1 Junction 26.

The site (excluding Ikea) is owned by British Land, a FTSE 100 property company headquartered in London.

M&S confirmed on Thursday (October 17) it plans to open a new 60,000 sq ft store with recruitment beginning in Spring 2020.

The location of the store is an area M&S says it has been looking to open in for several years.

Zoe Gibbard, Head of the East Midlands region for M&S, said:   “We’re excited to unveil our plans to open a new store in Nottingham next year.

"Customer shopping habits are changing so it’s important we reflect the way they want to shop – seamlessly integrating our in-store and online experiences.

"Excitingly, in Nottingham reshaping our store estate means opening a big new store to best serve our customers’ needs, alongside our High Street shop.

"Giltbrook Retail Park is nestled between a bustling residential area and key commuter roads, so our store will be perfect for family shopping, as well as quick pit-stops – we can’t wait to open in this great location.”

Ben Grose, Head of Retail Leasing at British Land said: “Retailers continue to open stores in well located and well managed destinations that support omni-channel retail.

"We are delighted that M&S has chosen Giltbrook Retail Park to open one of its new, family-focussed stores. It is a testament to our strong asset management expertise and ability to create vibrant retail locations.”
