M&S to create food jobs with new Simply Food supermarket in Leicestershire
Marks & Spencer (M&S) is reportedly planning to create up to 50 new food jobs in Leicestershire with the opening of a new Simply Food supermarket in a popular shopping complex in Thurmaston.
The news of the M&S store opening in Thurmaston Shopping Centre - located on Barkby Thorpe Lane - is good news for grocery shoppers and food job hunters in Leicestershire, especially after Marks & Spencer was forced to close Simply Food stores in Melton and Market Harborough due to poor performance and lack of demand.
As to the future of the new Thurmaston outlet, M&S is more optimistic. The company is expecting the 11,500 sq ft store to flourish in the already-popular shopping centre. In addition to groceries, the new supermarket will also offer clothes, cards, flowers and home accessories, as well as having a 50-seat café on the premises.
