UK | Waitrose has welcomed customers through the doors of its brand new ‘Little Waitrose’ shop in Southwick, West Sussex, in the formerly vacant Southwick Square building.
The 3000 sq ft shop offers over 3,000 products from Waitrose’s popular own brand ranges including Waitrose No. 1, Essential Waitrose - a value range which doesn’t compromise on quality, taste or animal welfare, and Waitrose Duchy Organic across a wide range of categories including fresh, chilled and baked products; alongside favourite branded products.
Customers will be able to take advantage of Waitrose’s popular lunchtime meal deal, which includes a main, a snack and a drink, as well as Waitrose’s No.1 Evening Meal Deal for two, which offers a main, a side, and a starter or dessert.
The drinks area is stocked with a carefully selected range of award-winning wines, and in response to demand for lower-alcohol drinks, an expanded range of low- and no-alcohol wines and beers is also available.
Local customers will be able to order home delivery from the shop using Uber Eats, Deliveroo, and Just Eat, as well as pick up John Lewis orders from the shop.
The opening of the shop has created 22 new local jobs. All new employees are now Partners in the John Lewis Partnership, the UK’s largest employee-owned company, which includes Waitrose, as well as John Lewis department stores.
“We’re truly delighted to open our doors and show customers around our brand new shop, which will help shape the blueprint for future Waitrose convenience shops,” said Shop Manager, Lauren Eastman.
“We hope they’ll love our quality products as much as we do. My team and I are ready to give them the great service Waitrose is renowned for.”
