Waitrose is not everyone’s first choice of supermarket, but the people who like it love it. If you’re a Waitrose regular you probably have very specific snacks/pastries/deli counter cuts that you like and just can’t get anywhere else. If that sounds like you, we’ve got news you will want to hear.
As part of plans to get to 100 Little Waitrose’ across Britain by 2028, the grocer has announced the locations of two brand new stores which will open this summer.
The shops, which will both be smaller versions of the supermarket for locals, will be in West Sussex and Bristol. This will become the second local branch, and third Waitrose store in Bristol.
This announcement comes only a few months after Waitrose’ first new convenience store in six years opened last November in London. This was their 47th location, meaning that if its aspirations are met, we could be seeing the amount of Little Waitrose in this country more than double before the decade is over.
There are no official opening dates yet, but as the locations have been announced we can assume it won’t be too long before these shops are up and running. We also don’t know when or where we can expect to find the rest of the remaining 51 convenience stores necessary in order to meet that goal of 100.
