Handforth Dean is a retail park situated in Handforth, near Wilmslow in Cheshire. It is located off the A34 bypass which was built at the same time. It contains three large superstores: Marks & Spencer, Tesco Extra, OUTFIT and British Home Stores (formerly Allders until 2005), an industrial estate and a gym. It was opened in October 1995, and soon helped increase house prices in the area by 15% as the area became more desirable. In 2007 the Tesco had a second floor added to handle the number of customers that used the store, and it was converted into a Tesco Extra, open 24 hours a day.
Tesco has described its Handforth Dean store as its "flagship store". Handforth Dean has been used by footballer David Beckham and his wife, singer Victoria Beckham, in particular Marks & Spencer. In 2002, the Marks & Spencer store was the company's most profitable outside of London. It is also one of their largest stores in the country.
