M&S announces closure of café on Leeds Road

The M&S Foodhall on Leeds Road.

M&S has announced it will be closing the café at its store on Leeds Road in Harrogate.

The café at the Oatlands foodhall will close as part of a nationwide closure programme, although no jobs will be lost.

Existing staff will be reallocated to other roles within the store.

A spokesperson said that although the news may be ‘disappointing’ for some, the closure will allow them to devote more space to food.

An M&S spokesperson said: 

“We know many of our customers want to be able to shop a wider range of our delicious M&S Food products. 

“That's why, after reviewing our Harrogate Oatlands foodhall, we have some exciting new changes planned.

"We are re-purposing our café space to offer more fresh produce from our Select Farm partners and deliver an improved in-store bakery - we will share more details in the coming weeks.”

They added:

"All café colleagues will transfer to other roles across the foodhall and while we understand this will be disappointing news for some customers, our team will continue working hard to serve them in-store.

"Customers' nearest M&S café will be at our nearby Cambridge Street store in Harrogate town centre."
