There can be few who are not aware of Marks and Spencer and with 600 stores located throughout the U.K and 240 stores in other parts of the world, there is likely to be one not too far from you!
Marks and Spencer can trace its origins back to 1884 when Michael Marks, a Russian born Polish refugee, formed a partnership with Tom Spencer. Marks and Spencer has gone from strength to strength and today sells not only clothes and food but finance too. However I really want to look at the store and what's on offer.
I love Marks and Spencer; with their Per Una range being my favourite. Per Una, designed by George Davies, was launched in 2001. The range is fashionable and stylish. I have bought several pairs of Per Una jeans and find they fit well and keep their shape. The jeans cost £25 a pair, a very reasonable price tag!
A few years ago Marks and Spencer went through a difficult time. They were accused of being frumpy. Customers were voting with their feet and the profits plummeted. I think the company have worked hard to change direction and now offer fashion for all ages at affordable prices.
Marks and Spencer also sells a good range of homewear including furniture. I recently ordered a cabinet for my bathroom. It was delivered well packed and on time. The quality was excellent. I have always bought Marks and Spencer towels too and again have always been pleased.
Marks and Spencer have a good range of toys. I particular like their puzzles.
Marks and Spencer food has always had a good reputation for being of high quality. It is more expensive than most other supermarkets but I have always been impressed with the quality of food I have bought. My local Marks and Spencer has recently started to sell food made by other manufacturers such as marmite and cif! I'm not sure where this idea came from but I find it odd! If I want to buy marmite and Cif I will go to a cheaper supermarket. I like to buy unique Marks and Spencer food from their food hall.
Marks and Spencer has a well-deserved reputation for excellent customer service. I really like the fact that you have 90 days to return any unwanted item of clothing should you change your mind. You can also order on line and return any unwanted item to your local store. The changing rooms are well managed and staff have always been happy to fetch alternative sizes or colours when I am trying on clothes.
I'm a big fan of enything that carries the M&S tag, in particular their food dept. I have problems with some of their clothing though and can not find a pair of trousers or jeans from there that fit me right.

Advantages: Easily accessable, with plenty of facilities. Disadvantages: Everything is packed into one place, so if you want a wider range, then shop that specialises in a particular range is a bit bettr.
