OUGD505 - Leeds Public Spaces: Marks & Spencer stall in Kirkgate Market

The first Penny Bazaar that Michael Marks had opened was in 1884 in Leeds Kirkgate Market where his first advertising slogan was ‘Don’t ask the price, it’s a penny’.

In 1984 when Thomas Spencer joined partnerships with Michael Marks, the brand became 'Marks and Spencer'. In 1903, their products were branded with ‘Marks and Spencer’.
