LITTLE WAITROSE IS GROWING
WE’RE LOOKING FOR NEW CONVENIENCE STORE LOCATIONS ACROSS THE UK!
WE’RE LOOKING FOR NEW CONVENIENCE STORE LOCATIONS ACROSS THE UK!
We want to bring the exceptional service, quality, and value that Waitrose represents to more customers.
That’s why we have exciting plans to open 100 new ‘little Waitrose’ convenience shops thoughtfully designed and furnished to the highest standards, in the coming years.
Our shops create brilliant shopping experiences to match the inspiring, much-loved products we offer with food grown using the very best sustainable farming methods and industry-leading animal welfare.
We recognise the role our stores play in our communities and are committed to supporting them through food banks, volunteering and working with schools and local organisations.
