Marks and Spencer has announced it is to re-enter the French retail market, 10 years after shutting down all its European stores.<\/p>\n

The company said it would open a 15,000 square foot store on the Champs-Elys\u00e9es in Paris later this year.<\/p>\n

M&S also said it was in talks with its partner SSP to launch a number of its Simply Food stores, under franchise, in Paris.<\/p>\n

The retailer is also planning to launch an international online service.<\/p>\n

M&S closed all its European stores in 2001 in order to focus on its core UK business.<\/p>\n

“Marks and Spencer has great brand awareness here in France and a place in customers’ hearts,” said Marc Bolland, Marks and Spencer’s chief executive. <\/p>\n

The new French store and website are expected to open ahead of the Christmas trading period.<\/p>\n

M&S is the UK’s largest clothing retailer with a significant presence in the food market.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
