A spokesperson for the retailer told just-food today (3 May) that it “does not comment on rumours or speculation”.
Just over a month ago, M&S announced plans to launch a bricks-and-clicks strategy in France, with a flagship store set to open on the Champs-Elysées ahead of the Christmas trading period. It also plans to open a number of Simply Food stores operated by franchise partner SSP.
The announcement came a decade after the retailer pulled out of Continental Europe.
