Handforth Dean is a retail park situated in Handforth, near Wilmslow in Cheshire. It was opened in October 1995, alongside the opening of the A34 Handforth bypass. It contains four superstores: Marks & Spencer, Tesco Extra, OUTFIT and Boots. A large Next store is situated on a development adjacent to the retail park. In 2007 the Tesco store had a second floor added to handle the number of customers that used the store and it was converted into a Tesco Extra. Tesco has described its Handforth Dean store as its "flagship store". Handforth Dean has been used by footballer David Beckham and his wife, singer Victoria Beckham,[1] in particular Marks & Spencer.[2] In 2002, the Marks & Spencer store was the company's most profitable outside London.[3] It is also one of their largest stores in the country.[4]
