Keys handed over for new M&S Foodhall at Fox Valley ahead of New Year opening

13 October 2026

The new Marks & Spencer Foodhall at Fox Valley in Stocksbridge, north Sheffield, has moved a significant step closer to opening, with the keys now handed over to M&S ahead of the store fit-out.

The handover marks the final phase of the multi-million-pound investment, which will complete the retail line-up at the eastern end of the centre alongside Home Bargains, Iceland, Aldi, and Costa Coffee.

The next stage will see the 22,742 sq. ft. unit transformed into a modern M&S Foodhall, featuring a 16,000 sq. ft. sales area and offering a wide range of M&S Food products, from Remarksable Value essentials to the retailer’s latest product launches.

Once open, customers will also be able to enjoy fresh produce from M&S Select Farm partners, an in-store bakery, dedicated Flower and Wine shops, and a convenient Click & Collect point for online fashion, home, and beauty orders.

M&S has already begun recruiting for the new store, with around 50 roles available. The new positions will add to the more than 4,000 colleagues the retailer already employs across Yorkshire.

The new Foodhall represents another major investment at Fox Valley, following a landmark year for the centre which celebrated its 10th anniversary in June. The opening will further strengthen the retail offer, bringing even more choice to the local community while supporting continued growth and job creation in the area.

James Shepherd, Managing Director of Dransfield Properties, said: “We are delighted to have reached this important stage in the development and to see the new M&S Foodhall moving closer to opening in the New Year.

“As Fox Valley enters its second decade, this investment marks an exciting next chapter for the centre and reflects our continued commitment to strengthening the retail offer and bringing leading retailers to the local community.”
