THE wait is nearly over for Trowbridge residents as a new M&S Foodhall will open its doors in Cradle Bridge Retail Park on July 12.

The Foodhall - which has created 50 new jobs in the local area - will have a 24-seat cafe and is open for business from 10am.

Phoebe Bullock will be taking the helm as the Foodhall’s new store manager and has been with M&S for over eight years.

"There has been a lot of enthusiasm in the build up to the new Foodhall, and we very much look forward to being part of the local community. The team are gearing up for the opening and we are in the process of adding the final touches to the store," she said.

Customers will be able to take advantage of the Collect in Store service, which gives the option to have M&S.com orders delivered to the store the next day free of charge.

The store, in County Way, will offer 125 free parking spaces and the opening hours will be from 8am-8pm Monday to Saturday and 10.30am-4.30pm on Sundays.
