After nearly a century of serving customers, Marks & Spencer has officially closed its renowned Stall Street store in Wiltshire, marking the end of an era. The closure comes as the retailer prepares to open a stunning new £17 million flagship store at SouthGate Bath, which officially opens on Wednesday, February 4th.
The new Bath location will operate from 9am to 7pm and spans four floors, offering a comprehensive range of M&S Food, fashion, home, and beauty products. Natalie Jordan, the store manager for Bath SouthGate, shared her excitement: “We received the keys on Monday, and the entire team has been working tirelessly to prepare for the grand opening. The new space is incredible, with a layout designed to enhance the customer experience. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to their new flagship store.”
The Stall Street branch closed its doors on Tuesday, February 3rd, leaving many loyal customers reflecting on the store’s legacy. One shopper commented, “Compared to other M&S outlets, this one truly stood out—it was spacious, accessible, and well designed. Bath customers are lucky to have such an outstanding store as their new flagship.”

While the future of the Stall Street building remains uncertain, Bath and North East Somerset Council confirmed they are working with M&S on the building’s next chapter. The retailer holds a long lease with a significant time left, meaning it will ultimately decide the building’s future use.
With this new flagship, M&S continues to invest in enhancing the shopping experience, blending tradition with innovation to meet the needs of modern customers.
