M&S in Orpington to close for several months for ‘huge transformation'

Yahoo24-05-2025
An Orpington M&S is set to close for several months as it undergoes a huge transformation.
The M&S store in Nugent Park will close at 7pm today (May 24).
The store will close for several months and is set to be finished later this summer.
Once completed, the transformed store will feature a much bigger fresh market-style foodhall, offering more seasonal produce from M&S' Select Farm partners.
Customers will be able to enjoy a 'show-stopping' bakery and coffee counter serving a selection of breads and pastries, alongside takeaway hot drinks.
Other features will include an expanded frozen section, four times bigger than the current offer, as well as dedicated Flower and Wine shops.
Meanwhile, a new spacious Fashion and Beauty layout will deliver two floors of stylish choices, across Womenswear, Menswear, Kidswear and a Beauty section, offering M&S' popular Apothecary range.
The transformation is part of the retailer's £90m investment in stores across central and Greater London, estimated to create 450 new jobs.
In Orpington, an estimated 80 new colleagues are set to join the team.
M&S Orpington first opened back in 2007 and its store team are being temporarily deployed to nearby stores until the transformation is complete.
While work is underway, customers can still go to nearby Bromley, Sidcup, and Bluewater Shopping Centre stores.
The Orpington store is led by Edward Lipscombe, who has worked at M&S for a decade.
He said: 'We are so excited to have a bigger and better M&S for our loyal customers in Orpington.
'We will have the very best of M&S Food, more innovative products and more choice across fashion and beauty, which we know our customers love and want more of.
'The shopping experience will also be much better, with more space making it much easier to shop.
'I can promise the store will be worth the wait when we open the doors again later this summer.
'In the meantime, my team and I will be helping out in nearby stores and look forward to seeing our regular customers there too.'

Club set out their conditions for Federico Chiesa deal

Liverpool still have got plenty of transfer business to attend to - with only three weeks left before the start of the Premier League season. It's already been a record-breaking summer for the Reds - who have added Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now But sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot aren't stopping there. Plans are afoot to add Alexander Isak in a deal which would shatter the British transfer record that Wirtz's signing broke earlier this summer. If and when Isak comes on board there will be a necessity for the Reds to make sales. Having spent over £260m to this point, the club will be keen to make as much money back as they can. Liverpool title winners at risk Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz should be the biggest departures - with Saudi Arabian clubs keen on Nunez and Diaz attracting serious interest from Bayern Munich. Those two alone would go a long way towards paying for Isak - but other players remain at risk. We could see Harvey Elliott, Tyler Morton and Ben Doak all head out the door as Hughes and Slot try to balance the books. And one more big wage-earner who could leave is . Chiesa at a Liverpool crossroads It's fair to say the deal hasn't worked out as yet for the 27-year-old - who joined the Reds from Juventus last September for a fee that could reach £12.5m. He is under contract until 2028 - but is expected to find himself at a new club by the end of this transfer window. Liverpool are probably not going to seek a huge fee for the Italian international - who has got plenty of suitors back in Serie A. Napoli and AC Milan are among the keenest clubs but could imminently face competition from Atalanta. © IMAGO - Federico Chiesa Liverpool Atalanta make their move for Chiesa La Dea have laid their cards on the table for a Chiesa deal - which they will focus on once Ademola Lookman's impending move to Inter is sorted out. According to a new report, Atalanta have set out their limits for Chiesa - meaning Liverpool have to consider the deal on it merits. 'Enquiries are underway regarding the Liverpool-Bergamo connection,' reports Il Giorno. 'No negotiations are underway for now, as Atalanta must first unravel the Lookman tangle, but in the meantime, the Nerazzurri management is starting to make quiet moves to explore a low-cost deal for Federico Chiesa. 'Atalanta are considering it, but only on their terms: a loan with an optional €10 million buyout option. Liverpool will cover part of his €5 million salary.' © IMAGO
