Pacific Building Delivers New M&S Food Store At Glasgow International Airport

Pacific Building has completed work on a new Marks and Spencer Simply Food store at Glasgow International Airport.

The eye-catching outlet is situated on the ground floor, landslide, just along from Domestic Arrivals, which ties in with the airport's latest promotional slogan: "Don't arrive home to an empty fridge."

The four-week project saw Pacific rip out the unit – which had previously been occupied by Tesco Express – and fit it out to the latest M&S specifications.

Works included bakery installation, tiling, ceilings, partitions, lighting, erection of shelving and refrigeration units, new shutters and doors, decoration, graphics and other branding materials.

At the opening on December 12, 2019, a spokesman for SSP UK, who operate the store on a franchise arrangement, said: "Whether you have been travelling for business or have been on holiday, you can get all your essentials here before you return home."

This is the first Marks & Spencer to open at Glasgow Airport, and the company have high hopes for the new outlet.

A spokesman said: "We have over 1,600 lines, ranging from sandwiches, delicatessen, meals from around the globe and our very own in-store bakery with a selection of bread lines.

"So whether you are on the go and looking for a healthy snack, or you are returning from a trip and don't want to go home to an empty fridge, our team in-store will be happy to help."

Pacific's expertise and experience of completing projects at airports is renowned across the United Kingdom.
