Natalie Jordan, store manager at Bath SouthGate said: “We have a fantastic history in Bath, dating back to 1895, and it is brilliant to be investing in a brand-new flagship store in the city centre.

“Our focus is now delivering the trusted value and exceptional quality we’re known for – alongside a touch of that M&S magic. Our new showstopping store does just that, and the response this morning from customers has been so rewarding for the whole team.”

The flagship store has three floors of fashion products, Click & Collect and Travel Money, as well as a 1,600 sq ft beauty hall with third-party brands and private-label fragrances.

Bath SouthGate is part of the 20 new or renewed stores M&S plans to launch across the UK in the second half of this financial year. It will be open between 8am and 7pm from Monday to Saturday and between 11am and 5pm on Sundays.
