It said it wanted to target the weekly family shop by having more stores that offer its full range of food.
At the moment, only around 12 of its stores offer all 6,500 of its food products.
The plan is to convert more space in existing stores to food, with new stores better designed and located for customers who want to do food shopping.
In a letter to suppliers, M&S said it was not getting its line of food products "in front of enough customers" - leaving shoppers assuming that they do not have a full range.
"This must change, and it will. The full range will go online with Ocado and we are starting a store renewal programme that will get more products in front of more customers with bigger, better M&S Food Halls in new and existing sites," the letter said. » | BBC | Sunday, March 17, 2019
