Marks & Spencer, Poole Retail Park
Marks & Spencer is excited to announce proposals for a new M&S Food at the former Homebase site in Poole Retail Park, Redlands.
We’re bringing new life to this well-known site by transforming it into a modern, welcoming store that meets the needs of local residents while creating new jobs and enhancing the local retail offer.
A new opportunity for Poole
The former Homebase unit has been vacant since February 2025. Our plans will bring this empty building back into viable use with a high-quality M&S Foodhall. A separate retail unit for a ‘bulky goods’ retailer will also be created.
This investment supports the regeneration of a key local site and will deliver significant economic benefits for Poole and the wider area.
About M&S
M&S is a leading British retailer bringing exceptional quality, great value food, clothing and homeware to millions of customers across the UK. Our food is known for its quality, freshness and innovation credentials while our clothing is contemporary, wearable style at great value.
The M&S Foodhall at Poole
The proposed store will offer:
Convenient shopping in modern and attractive setting, providing a sales area of c. 1,861sq.m (c.20,000sq.ft).
Customer favourites such as the M&S cheese barge, the retailer's award-winning wine selection and ranges such as Plant Kitchen and Free-from.
Fresh market-style foodhall brimming with fresh produce, sourced from M&S’ Select Farm Partners and local suppliers.
Dedicated flower shop and plant range
