The new M&S store will open in the Ayrshire town next month

M&S has announced Thursday, 13th August, as the opening date for its brand-new Largs food store, located at the site of the former Pearson’s garage on Main Street, bringing its great quality and trusted value products to the coastal town.

The long-awaited 9,000 sq ft fresh market-style store will include a brand-new in-store bakery. Customers can also look forward to a variety of fresh produce from M&S Select Farms, alongside dedicated Flower and Wine shops.

Customers can enjoy a wide range of M&S favourites, including the best of M&S picky bits for school holiday park picnics, picky teas in front of the telly and epic grazing spreads for summer parties. The store will feature over 100 Remarksable Value everyday staples and also offer a range of products created in partnership with Scottish suppliers.

A dedicated Click & Collect point will also make it easy to collect online fashion, home and beauty orders.

Following a successful local recruitment drive, the opening has created 50 new jobs across customer service and operations.
