M&S confirms opening date for Ripon food store
Marks and Spencer has announced that it will open the doors to its food store in Ripon next month.
The new shop will open for the first time at 10am on July 15 and has created around 60 jobs in the town. It will be open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 8pm, and on Sunday from 11am to 5pm.
It was originally due to open at the end of April but it was delayed because of coronavirus.
The M&S Food Store is part of the £10 million Saint Michael’s Retail Park development which was also delayed.
Ripon is currently served by four supermarkets – Aldi, Booths, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s.
