M&S to sell two million products for 1p each
Posted by James | Filed under news
As Marks and Spencer celebrate their 125th birthday this month, the company is keen to remind shoppers of its humble beginnings and company history. To celebrate this history, and to give something back to consumers, M&S will put more than two million products on sale for just a penny each.
It’s hard to believe, but retailers M&S began as a humble market stall in Leeds Kirkgate Market. The market stall was set up by a Russian refugee known as Michael Marks before opening its first shop in Cheetham Hill Road Manchester, less than ten years later.
The penny products will be available from the 20th of May for three days with proceeds being donated to the M&S 125 Charity Challenge.
