The new 97,000 sq ft store, which opens on May 25, will be the first in the north of England to feature the new store layout, the company has said.
The store is set to move into the large premises in Leeds White Rose shopping centre vacated by Debenhams, which collapsed amid the fallout of the pandemic. The retailer announced plans earlier this year to open 20 new stores across the country.
The White Rose store will create 230 new jobs for the area as part of the company’s commitment to opening 20 new stores nationwide and creating 3,400 new jobs this year.
Justine Brook, Store Manager at M&S Leeds White Rose, said: “We’re really excited to share a sneak peek of our new Clothing store design and we’re proud that M&S Leeds White Rose will be the first ever store in the North to open with this stylish new look.
"The team are all working hard to get the store ready for opening and we can’t wait to welcome customers through the door on Thursday May 25 and share everything we’ve been working on.”
