Morecambe is a wonderful coastal town with a rich history and a vibrant community. Over the years, our town has developed and grown, reflecting the needs and interests of its residents. However, there's a noticeable gap in our retail landscape that many of us feel deserves to be filled: the absence of an M&S Foodhall.

The old Home Bargains unit on Euston Road presents an ideal location for a new M&S Foodhall. This location is central, with sufficient access for both residents and visitors. Currently, our shopping options are limited, requiring residents to travel to neighboring towns for certain products that M&S Foodhall could provide locally. The introduction of an M&S Foodhall here would not only add diversity to our shopping choices but also serve as a convenient and premium option for quality food and groceries.

An M&S Foodhall wouldn't just benefit consumers; it would also be a great boost for our local economy, providing job opportunities and increasing foot traffic, which could help other local businesses thrive. Towns that have added M&S Foodhalls have seen up to a 20% increase in retail foot traffic, according to recent studies, indicating that such developments lead to broader economic growth.

Moreover, Morecambe is undergoing a renaissance with developments like the Eden Project North. An M&S Foodhall would complement these initiatives, adding to the town’s appeal and making it an even more attractive destination for residents and tourists alike.

Please sign this petition if you believe that an M&S Foodhall on Euston Road would greatly benefit the Morecambe community, help stimulate our local economy, and enhance the quality of life for all its residents.
