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]
