MARKS & Spencer is to open a new food hall in a Scottish town as part of a major expansion push north of the Border.
The new Linlithgow store, which will be located in the town’s Stockbridge Retail Park, will open its doors on January 25.
The 12,500 square foot market-style food hall will include an in-store bakery as well as a dedicated M&S Wine Shop.

The new look store follows the retailers £10 million investment in Scotland last year including its East Kilbride, Bishopbriggs and Glasgow west end stores.
More than 60 new jobs have been created in the local area as a result, the company has said.
“We look forward to welcoming the community to our new Linlithgow store when we open on Burns Day,” said store manager Brian Torley.
“The new store is packed with so many exciting new features which we can’t wait to reveal, and we’re counting down the days to finally open the doors and see local customers experience it for themselves.”
To celebrate opening on Burns Day, the store has promised that those visiting on January 25 will be treated to some Scottish entertainment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
