M&S coming to Brentford?

I know these articles appear very often and there may not be much substance to them but Brentford appears to be ticking some boxes for M&S. The suggestion is that it would be a Simply Food outlet rather than a full line store so it could be just a shop at a petrol station.https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/ms-shares-wish-list-over-34247090

Great to see something optimistic. Having looked at the M&S announcement, I think they are much more likely to be looking on the A4 - perhaps there will be an opportunity in ex-GSK or what I still think of as ex-Honeywell.A simply food on the High St to complement Lidl and Morrisons would be very welcome. There was talk of M&S on part of the old Morrisons site. Not going to happen now but could somewhere

They will be disappointed, the shoplifters will have had everything long before then.

If there is to be an M&S I think they will get a mad rush of locals in at about 5.30-6pm every evening.

If I remember correctly - don't pay full attention to online meetings - the powers that be were talking about the area which will be built down where Rye by the Water used to be.

I wouldn't hold your breath. When The Oaks in Acton was rebuilt there were constant rumours that it was to have an M&S or a Waitrose.It has a Lidl, not that that isn't useful.

Ballymore have hinted at all sorts of interest for some years, amongst which was Waitrose being interested in the store that is now Morrisons.  I'll believe it if M&S actually confirm it. I think it is very unlikely - though it would be great.  In reality it could be any national company but likely to be a bit more downmarket than M&S.

This is something that I would personally be pleased to see in Brentford. It would be a very welcome addition to the High Street.

Is there an available unit that would enable M&S to move in even if it is just a Simply Food variety?

At an online meeting recently the Ballymore rep. said something tantalising along the lines of a big name showing interest in coming to Brentford. As with all things, it may come to nothing but I was left wondering 'who' and 'what'?
