Marks & Spencer, Bridgend
Marks & Spencer is excited to announce proposals for a brand new M&S Foodhall at Waterton Road, Bridgend.
The proposals form part of a new commercial development on an underused site to the south of Waterton Road, to be known as Porth Waterton. The M&S Foodhall will be part of a wider development, including an Aldi foodstore and Costa drive through, together with customer parking and landscaping.
There is currently no M&S Foodhall in Bridgend. The new store would bring the full M&S Food offer to the town for the first time, creating around 70 M&S jobs and providing a convenient new shopping destination for customers across Bridgend, Porthcawl, Cowbridge and the wider Vale.
A Fresh Opportunity for Bridgend
The proposals represent a significant new investment in Bridgend and an opportunity to transform an underused site into a modern and attractive commercial destination.
The site is currently occupied in part by Compact Cars and Vans, with other areas used for car auctions or comprising vacant and rough ground. Redeveloping the site will bring this land into more productive use, alongside new landscaping, green infrastructure and improved pedestrian and cycle connections.
