Hoffman, and the British Prime Minister are just a few of its famous customers.
Last year it made profit of 529 mln. Pounds, which is more than 10 mln aweek.

It all started105 years ago, when a young Polish immigrant, Michael Marks,had a
stall in Leeds market. He didnt have many things to sell: some cotton, a little wool,
lots of buttons, and a few shoelaces. Above his stall he put the now famous notice:
DONT ASK HOW MUCH- ITS A PENNY.
Ten years later, he met Tom Spencer and together they started Penny Stalls in many
towns in the north of England. Today there are 564 branches of M&S all over the
world- in America, Canada, Spain, France, Belgium, and Hungary.

pyjamas, underwear, suits. Best sellers in food are fresh chickens, bread,
