Editing Marks & Spencer (section)

===Food hall (in-store)===
All the '''St Michael Food hall''' supermarkets were renamed ''M&S Food hall'' when Marks & Spencer dropped the ''St Michael'' brand in 2000. Each M&S Foodhall sells groceries, which historically were all under the Marks & Spencer brand. However, in 2006 the company began selling a limited range of other brands, such as [[Coca-Cola]] and [[Stella Artois]], without reducing the number of M&S goods they sold. This marked the first time in its 125-year history that Marks & Spencer had sold any brands other than its own.<ref>{{cite news|url= http://www.brandrepublic.com/News/950570/M-S-sell-brands-first-time-125-years/|title= M&S to sell other brands for the first time in 125 years|publisher=Brand Republic|first= James|last= Quilfer|date= 4 November 2009|access-date=22 November 2009}}</ref>

M&S introduced [[self-checkout]] tills in the food halls of a small number of trial stores in 2002. Self-service checkouts were implemented in the general merchandise sections in three trial stores in 2006.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb5245/is_200209/ai_n19869452|title=M&S to test self-scan tills}}</ref>

In 2019, M&S launched five new Food renewal stores. This was part of the transformation of the Food business, led by Managing Director Stuart Machin, to have bigger Food stores with "the mind of a supermarket and the soul of a fresh market".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/aug/03/marks-spencer-wants-bigger-food-share-with-help-from-percy-pig|title= Marks & Spencer wants bigger food share (with help from Percy Pig)|date= 3 August 2019|work= The Guardian|access-date=20 May 2020}}</ref>
