Mark and Spencer

Do you know how many Mark and Spencer shops operate in UK? About 400, all very different. There are small little stores on a railway station, huge great stores in main boulevards and city centres, middle –sized stores in small towns. Some buildings were built in the 1970s, some buildings in the 1930s, some are medieval Tudor buildings; they all sell typical very British products: Clothes, food, furniture; There was a big crisis in the 1990s but Mark and Spencer is gradually recovering.I read that article on the magazine "Vocable"

I love Marks and Spencers !
Especially the store on Oxford St, London ...

What about the new Marks & Spencer store in Paris ? Has anyone visited it yet ? It should be open by now ?
They closed all Marks & Spencer in France some time ago, but it was decided to re-open the one in Paris lately.
I really miss the one in Lille...

Not quite yet, Guilaine !

Thank you, Krystyna, for the good news you sent me about M&S. I 've read the article and am now looking forward to the re-opening although I'm nearer to London than to Paris, starting from Calais... But then they will accept my Euros in Paris, and with a bit of luck they will also accept my credit card payment.
Among their Fresh produce we enjoy is their "Danish" bacon !!
