A Marks & Spencer<\/strong> superstore will replace a The Range<\/strong> branch in South Ruislip after local plans approved the transformation of the 61,000 sq ft retail site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new store will bring a large Foodhall<\/strong>, alongside clothing, homeware, beauty and lifestyle products, returning the retailer to the area after its previous High Street location closed in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Range Store Will Close As M&S Moves Into Victoria Retail Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The The Range<\/strong> outlet at Victoria Retail Park<\/strong> will shut as the site is converted into a new Marks & Spencer<\/em> store. The move follows approval from Hillingdon Council<\/strong>, which backed proposals for the redevelopment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Sun<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, the project has received support from many residents who want more shopping options locally, while some people have raised concerns about potential job losses linked to The Range closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The council responded to 87 objections and said the employment impact would be offset by the creation of 123 new positions at the incoming M&S store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Store Will Include Foodhall, Clothing And Lifestyle Departments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The replacement store will cover a wide range of retail categories. Customers will find a Foodhall<\/strong>, as well as sections dedicated to fashion<\/em>, home products<\/em>, beauty items<\/em> and other lifestyle goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development is expected to provide a more convenient grocery option for residents who currently travel elsewhere for supermarket shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M&S<\/a> has said it plans to recruit locally for the new branch, while the council described the project as an \u201cemployment-generating retail use\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approved plans include seven-day opening, 332 parking spaces, six new trolley bays and 34 secure cycle parking spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
