Having moved its store design team to MediaCity UK last month, supermarket chain Booths is to start selling food online to the local Manchester area.

The retailer, which will open a new store in Salford Quays, the base of MediaCity, which will also offer an online service that could be rolled out to other locations if successful.

The service will be similar to that of Marks & Spencer’s online service, but will be developed initially to handle corporate events, with a range of sandwiches and wrap platters, as well as quiches, salads and cakes.
