M&S returns to Bristol city centre

M&S has returned to Bristol city centre, unveiling its brand-new 80,000 sq ft flagship store at Cabot Circus.

The multi-million-pound investment has created over 150 new jobs.

Spanning three floors – in what was formerly House of Fraser, which closed in August 2024 – the store delivers M&S food, fashion, and home and beauty.

The opening marked a return of the well-known high street brand to the city centre. M&S closed its Broadmead store in October 2021 after 70 years.

Ali Ivery, regional manager at M&S, said: “We have a long history here in Bristol, dating back to 1900, and so it is brilliant to be back today, with our brand-new 80,000 sq ft flagship Cabot Circus store.

“Over three floors, we have the very best of M&S Food, Fashion and Home waiting for customers, including our biggest ever in-store beauty offer. So, there is plenty to explore.

It’s fantastic to be making such a significant investment in the city and the opening has created over 150 new jobs.”

M&S Cabot Circus is one of over 20 new or renewed stores that M&S is launching in the second half of this financial year.

Bath Southgate, also a flagship full-line store, is set to open in February.
