Following a transformation of its foodhall, M&S at Swindon’s Orbital Shopping Park has today opened its brand-new Coffee Shop.
Customers will find a fresh, modern design, with completely new lighting, floor and counter as well as a new menu to enjoy, from freshly cooked breakfast rolls, to toasties, wraps, sausage rolls and sandwiches, alongside beloved cakes and pastries.
The new 140-seater Coffee Shop also has almost twice as many seats, with plenty of choice from banquette seating to high stools with power sockets.
The new Coffee Shop is designed to deliver a simplified, quicker customer experience with customers able to select their food from the display area before heading to the counter to checkout and order from the drinks menu, featuring barista-made coffees.
Eloise Alder, Store Manager at M&S Swindon Orbital, said: “We have counted down the days to reveal our brand-new Coffee Shop concept! The new bigger layout means more seating, as well as speedier service, making the Coffee Shop the perfect pit-stop for customers on their shopping trip. Must-try new products include our Iced Wild Strawberry Matcha, Big Marks Brioche Roll and our M&S Mini-Bite Showstopper cake."
M&S Swindon is one of 12 stores across the UK this financial year undergoing a renewal to deliver the best shopping experience for customers and store environment for colleagues.
The store’s new bigger fresh market-style foodhall features an in-store bakery and dedicated Flower and Wine shop offers, while work on its fashion, beauty and home offer continues and is set to be finished this Autumn.
The Coffee Shop is open between 8.30am and 5pm Monday to Saturday and between 10.30am and 4pm Sunday.
