Marks & Spencer, Stone Cross

Marks & Spencer is bringing forward proposals for a great quality M&S Foodhall on land north of Dittons Road, Stone Cross. This development represents a significant investment in the local area, delivering a trusted food retailer to meet the growing needs of residents.

The scheme will generate new jobs and create a store with a brand-defining M&S food offer.

Located close to the A27/A22 junction, and adjacent to a new care home and recently completed housing developments, the proposed store will be easily accessible and serve a local catchment. The store will be well designed, and modestly sized with dedicated car and cycle parking.

About M&S

M&S has been a cornerstone of British retail for over a century, known for delivering quality, sustainability, and excellent customer service. The company continually evolves to meet changing customer needs while maintaining its reputation for responsibly sourced, great quality products.

The M&S Foodhall at Stone Cross

The proposed store will offer:

Convenient shopping in a modern and attractive setting, providing a sales area of 1,486 sqm.

Customer favourites such as the M&S cheese barge, the award winning wine selection, and ranges such as Plant Kitchen and Free-from.

M&S’s flowers and plant range, with a small non-food range (e.g. cards and stationery).

Fresh produce, bakery items, chilled meals, and M&S-branded groceries.

The proposed 2,020 sqm (GIA) store, with 1,486 sqm of trading space, is designed to serve a local audience and sits comfortably alongside the nearby Lidl and existing town centre stores.

Supporting Local Communities

M&S has long-standing partnerships with suppliers across the UK, including Britannia Superfine Ltd in Polegate. The new Foodhall will create up to 70 new jobs, providing local employment opportunities and reinforcing M&S's commitment to supporting communities.

M&S works with Neighbourly to distribute surplus food to local foodbanks and charities, where it will help those who need it most.
