In a significant retail development, a brand-new £21 million Marks and Spencer flagship store has opened its doors in Bristol's Cabot Circus shopping center. The massive three-floor department store, which replaces a former House of Fraser location, marks M&S's return to Bristol city center after nearly four years.
