M&S Simply Food at London Road Retail Park opened its doors for the first time today (Wednesday, November 26), with customers from all over Grantham taking in the delights of the new store.
A traditional ribbon cutting took place to mark the occasion with customers alongside store manager, Dean Law, and more than 55 new members of staff.

Store Manager, Dean Law, said: “After working hard to prepare the store for its opening, we were thrilled to open our doors at London Road Retail Park this morning. There were crowds of shoppers at the opening, eager to see all that their new M&S Simply Food has to offer.
“We can’t wait for people from across Grantham and the surrounding area to come and see all the exciting products along with our in-store Bakery and 50-seat Café, which serves Fairtrade tea and coffee as well as sandwiches, cakes and a range of hot snacks.”
Mrs Bond, from Grantham Town Centre, was one of the first customers in the store today.
She said: “I have been really excited about the new store opening in Grantham and I’ve been looking forward to starting my Christmas shopping today.
“I have just moved from Stamford, which has a great M&S store so it’s brilliant that Grantham now has it’s very own store.”
