The Sunday Times has reported oveer the weekend that Marks & Spencer is to take on Currys and Argos by opening and retailing electrical goods in almost 100 of it’s stores acros the UK.
The chief executive of M&S, Stuart Rose, has decided to trial the scheme for 10 months.
Rose said: “We’ve been trialling technology products since October last year and the results have been encouraging. Extending the range is therefore the logical next step.
“Customers have told us they want to buy a wider range of products including technology from us, but they want to be able to do this in dedicated departments, with specially trained staff,” he added.
There are plans for dedicated electrical departments in thirteen M&S stores including the flagship store in Marble Arch.
