The big comeback
Article Abstract:
Retail firm Marks & Spencer has invested 86 million pounds sterling in its new flagship store in Manchester city centre, with the aim of rebuilding confidence in the area which was destroyed by a bomb blast in June 1998. The new store has been specially designed to be one of the most modern in Europe, making use of natural light and spacious floor space. All those involved in the project have worked speedily and quickly to get the store ready for Christmas 1999.
