M&S Simply Food
At BP Retail, we're always trying to innovate – to bring better and better products to people on the move. And there can be few brands that offer more delicious – even sumptuous - food than Marks & Spencer.
We launched the first M&S Simply Food on our forecourt in October 2005. It was so successful, that we've since opened 117 – and have plans to launch even more. (And with average transaction levels up 60% in these stores, you can see why.)
In each and every store we convert to M&S, we create two additional store management roles – and around five new Customer Service Assistant roles. So you can see, with all these new opportunities around, it's a great place to develop your career.
The M&S Simply Food Store
So what does a M&S Simply Food store stock? Well firstly, it serves a range of ready-to-eat meals of unrivalled quality. Then there are delicious fresh cheeses, meats from fresh organic chicken to Serrano ham, and some of the finest fruit and vegetables you can find. And if you're feeling more indulgent, desserts range from panettone to fresh fruit tarts. Add to all this sandwiches, flowers, wine and every-day groceries and you'll see that it's a very exciting customer offering indeed.
The M&S Brand
Marks and Spencer is one of the UK's leading retailers of clothing, food, home products and financial services. They employ 68,000 employees in 30 countries, have more than 500 stores and serve tens of millions of customers each and every week. Their aim is to take their food out to more locations making it easily accessible for their customers.
Their success has been built on a number of core company values that have remained almost unchanged since their earliest beginnings: quality, value, innovation, trust and service.
