“We know our customers across Asia are passionate about Marks & Spencer Food, which is why we’ve partnered with Foodpanda to help get them the products they need as well as supporting those who currently aren’t able to visit stores easily,” said Christine Choi, CEO of Marks & Spencer Asia.
Pandamart will give free deliveries on minimum purchases of HK$40 in Hong Kong, SG$5 in Singapore, and RM5 in Malaysia. In Singapore, ordering via Foodpanda is currently available only at locations near Wheelock Place, VivoCity, Parkway Parade and One Raffles Place.
