Most of its domestic stores sell both clothing and food, and since the turn of the century it has started expanding into other ranges such as home-ware, furniture and technology. The Marks and Spencer supermarket that I am assessing is situated in Omagh and it is a fairly large store that offers a wide range of items such as clothing and food. The reason that I have chosen to assess this particular business is due to the fact that this is where I do my weekly shopping and also because it is well known to the public. This is very true because the store serves 10million customers a week in over
