Marks & Spencer has shared a sneak peek at how the fashion floors will look at its huge Trafford Centre megastore. The retailer is in the midst of transforming the vast 98,000 sq ft store that was formerly Debenhams in the shopping mall.

It is set to open to the public in November. But today bosses have unveiled the clothing department design, making it one of the first in the country to feature the retailer’s new-look store layout.

The store will offer shoppers the latest collection for Autumn/Winter across womenswear, kidswear and menswear – with dedicated areas for M&S customer favourites. They will also be selling wares from Jaeger in store, as well as the Per Una and Autograph fashion ranges.
