‘Big News’ for one of London’s Top Stores History of Marks & Spencer M&S started life in 1884, when Michael Marks came to the north of England and managed to secure a stall at Kirkgate Market in Leeds. He was an immigrant and arrived with little money and limited English. He used the slogan “Don’t ask the price, it’s a ’Penny’ and before long the stall was thriving. To support his growing business, Michael joined forces with Tom Spencer, a cashier from wholesalers Dewhirst. From this partnership, ‘Marks & Spencer’ and its first Penny Bazaar stores were born. In 1924 the M&S head office and registered address moved from Manchester to Marble Arch in London to the building. Redevelopment of Marble Arch and Marks & Spencer 2024 In March 2021, M&S submitted plans to demolish the five-floor flagship and develop a 10-storey building with two and a half floors of retail space, alongside a gym and offices. It received the green light from Westminster City Council in, before the government ordered a public inquiry into the planning application in summer 2022 following opposition from environmental and historic building campaigners. Against the recommendation of a planning inspector, Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities rejected the scheme in July 2023, citing heritage harm and the carbon footprint of demolition and rebuilding. M&S then launched a High Court appeal against the government’s decision. On 20th November 2023 the High Court approved the Client's application for a judicial review and court proceedings were initiated. On 1st March 2024 the high court ruled in favour of the client and has granted permission to proceed with the demolition of the store and subsequent works on site. Upon completion, the new Marble Arch building will be in the top 1% of sustainability performance in London with a BREEAM outstanding rating – the industry’s leading sustainability benchmark – and use less than a quarter of the energy than it does today. The new Marble Arch scheme will also deliver carbon payback within 11 years of construction. This means the building, which has a planned lifespan of 120 years, will deliver an overall positive contribution to the environment 11 years after completion – a significant achievement for a new scheme.

Attractive Retailing: A visit to Crate & Barrel in the Flatiron District, NYC The store is in a prime location. It is built inside a late 19th/early 20th century classic, charming building. The store is spacious and well lit. ten to twelve classic Corinthian-style columns from the original building sustain white, 25ft ceilings. The whole them if the store is white. Of interest, is that there are no walls or high shelves inside the four outside walls of the store. Customers can see the entire store at a glance, from a single lace. Merchandise is smartly displayed no higher than table height except of the outside walls which are completely shelved and hold kitchenware and gadgets. An inside staircase built for this store leads to the downstairs, formerly a storage basement, which now holds the furniture department. Again one can see almost the entire store from one place. the store is neatly arranged and inviting. I went to see what had already been touted and I was impressed. This is how retailing should be done. This Crate & Barrel is the home products equivalent of a candy store...buy, buy, buy.
