The detail

Phase one at the Abbeycentre has been designed with the "mind of a supermarket and the soul of a fresh market". The Abbeycentre is one of three and the first in Ireland to benefit from the new design concept centred around renewal.

We increased the store's floor-space by almost 6,000 sqft creating a more contemporary modern look.

A large feature is the in-store bakery which doubled in size, a grocery area designed to shine a light on fresh and seasonal produce and an enhanced freezer space to ensure there is a place for new product developments including frozen herbs and onions.

In-line with Marks and Spencer's wider plastic reduction plan, the store now boasts a range of features to help customers reduce, reuse and recycle plastic, including an increase in loose fresh produce and a free water re-fill station.

Phase two of the project will include a complete refurbishment to clothing areas.
