Last December, Marks & Spencer (M&S) announced their departure from Raffles City after 35 years.
Now, just six months later, the British retailer is making a comeback. M&S’s Raffles City outlet has reopened and it boasts their second-largest food hall in Singapore.

The revamped 14,000 square feet space will also have a brand new contemporary look and feel, allowing patrons to shop in comfort.
M&S has made a return to Raffles City 36 years after it first set foot in there.
It now takes up 14,000 square feet at Basement One of the shopping centre and boasts a brand new contemporary look, with interiors designed to give customers the best shopping experience.
More importantly, this outlet will be home to the second-largest M&S food hall in Singapore — undoubtedly a key feature for foodies.

The food hall alone takes up over 6,900 square feet, about the size of one-and-a-half basketball courts.
Not only will it offer customers all their favourite M&S snacks, but it will even have a grocer and an in-store bakery that serves up freshly baked English pastries like scones and pies.
What sets this outlet apart from other M&S stores is its impressive range of frozen snacks.
Whether it’s handmade gelato, ice cream, or frozen yoghurt, you’ll be able to find it at M&S Raffles City. They are also well-stocked with vegan options.
If you’re a fan of cheese, you’ll be pleased to know that M&S Raffles City will showcase a wide collection of award-winning cheeses.

And of course, the perfect pairing to cheese would be some wine to indulge in during the weekends.
At M&S, you’ll be able to find your drink of choice in the wine section, from red wines like the Cabernet Sauvignon to sweeter options like the Chardonnay.

In tandem with its latest store launch, M&S has also unveiled a range of limited edition goodies like their best-selling Scottish Shortbread Biscuits in striking new packaging. Great for a mid-day snack or to add to one’s picnic spread.
Besides food, the outlet will have an even bigger selection of customers’ favourite fashion items, from clothing to lingerie to beauty items.
This includes the usual timeless wardrobe staples you can typically find at M&S.
