M&S to repeat Penny Bazaar promotion for Christmas

The Marks & Spencer bazaars will open for one day on Friday November 13, in all 300 main chain shops, 40 Simply Food stores and eight outlet shops.

M&S opened penny bazaars in May as part of its 125^th birthday celebrations.

Although penny bazaar takings will go to local charities, the event is likely to drive footfall to M&S stores and customers will be given a voucher booklet entitling them to savings of 12.5% over the festive period.

M&S executive chairman Sir Stuart Rose said: "Our first penny bazaars went down a storm with our customers. We received unprecedented demand for the products and so much positive feedback tat we've decided to do it again for Christmas."
