M&S Simply Food to arrive at Edinburgh Airport terminal extension in October

UK. Edinburgh Airport will welcome M&S Simply Food next month, as it prepares to offer passengers a “new shopping experience” at its terminal extension.

The Marks & Spencers food retail brand will be the first outlet open in the extension on 1 October, with a prime location in the domestic Arrivals hall.

The 1,766sq ft store is operated under an agreement between Marks & Spencer and food & beverage operator SSP.

Edinburgh Airport Head of Retail and Property Richard Townsend said: ““We’re constantly speaking to our passengers and we listen to what they want. A premium convenience store where you can pick up everyday essentials before and after your journey is something we’ve been planning to give our customers for a long time.”

Bob Johnson of SSP UK said: “We’re continuously looking to increase the choices available to air travellers and workers at the airport, and the M&S Simply Food concept has already become a hit in other airports across the UK.”
