LONDON (Reuters) -British retailer Marks & Spencer will invest 340 million pounds ($457 million) in an automated distribution centre in central England, building capacity to support its ambition to double the size of its food business, it said on Thursday.
M&S, which is recovering from a cyberattack in April which crippled its online operations, said the 1.3 million square feet facility in Daventry will open in 2029.
