Marks & Spencer is proposing to open its first ever store in Linlithgow - a large foodhall at Stockbridge Retail Park.

The plans for a new 12,400 square feet store to replace units previously occupied by Peacocks and Argos, will create 70 full-time jobs.

Scott Munro, regional manager for M&S said: “Linlithgow is the perfect choice for a new M&S Foodhall; we’ve previously had great success with smaller franchise partners here and we love the idea of opening a modern store in the town with many of our latest high-tech features. We want to provide our local customers with a brilliant and inspiring shopping experience in a convenient and accessible location.”

A spokesperson from Westquarter Developments Ltd said: “The proposed development is an exciting prospect for Linlithgow.”

Adding: “With great opportunities to deliver a wide range of benefits for the local community.”
