Handforth Dean Explained

Handforth Dean is a retail park in Handforth, Cheshire, England; it opened in 1995, alongside the A34. It contains four superstores: Marks & Spencer, Tesco Extra, JD Sports^[1] and Boots. Large Next and Pets at Home stores are sited on a development adjacent to the retail park.

In 2002, the Marks & Spencer store was the company's most profitable outside London;^[2] it is also one of their largest stores in the country.^[3]

In 2007, the Tesco store had a second floor added to handle the number of customers that used it and was converted into a Tesco Extra. Tesco has described Handforth Dean as its "flagship store".^{[4] [5]}
