As doors opened this morning at the newly-extended M&S Simply Food store on St Michael's Retail Park in Ripon, the Stray Ferret was on hand to see the smart layout.

The 4,000 sq ft increase in retail floorspace brings a larger in-store bakery and fresh produce selection, along with an enhanced wine shop offering.

The opening marks the culmination of a project that started when groundworks were begun last August. Construction of the extension itself started in January.

Store manager Rich Johnston said: 

This is an exciting day, the expansion will enable us to provide our customers with a larger product offering, including more seasonal fruit and vegetables and a brand-new cheese barge.
