The M&S Simply Food store is set to open in March
A new Marks & Spencer store is set to open in a Dorset town after the retailer announced it is expanding its Simply Food chain.

M&S has bought 28 stores - including the one in Christchurch High Street - from retailer Iceland for £38m.

The company said all management and staff working at the Iceland store will be transferred to its new outlet.

The store will be converted into a Marks & Spencer Simply Food store, and is set to open in the summer.
