M&S Abbey, Belfast is one of three projects and the first in Northern Ireland to benefit from the new M&S design concept focusing on renewal. The existing Foodhall was extended to provide an additional 6,000 ft2 of retail space, with a full re–model and fit–out to the renewal concept. The scope includes a large in–store bakery, loose fresh produce areas, extended chilled and frozen ranges, together with increased grocery and wine shop offers. The project was completed in phases keeping the existing Foodhall open and operational at all times.
