A small M&S, premium, convenience store at Birch Westbound, situated next to the main entrance, strategically so customer pass it on the way to other facilities the site offers. It’s possible that this building opened with an M&S in 2004 and this store will, inevitably, take much of WHSmiths trade. Selling travel snacks and “last minute flowers” M&S are an important brand for Moto as they attract a considerable quantity of customers to their sites. The store was moderately busy during my visit as it was lunchtime. This store was refitted around 2016/17 and M&S is signposted from the M62 and advertised multiple times around the site itself.
