In addition, the company said it is continuing to look for sites for Simply Food stores, which the retailer announced in April.

Marks and Spencer is returning to France a decade after it quit the market. It has not announced an opening date for the store on the Champs-Elysées but said it will be up and running before Christmas. The 1,400 sq metre store will sell food, as well as women’s wear and lingerie ranges.
