Waitrose has been around for an exceptionally long time and has grown to really understand what their customers expect from a good supermarket. Waitrose was founded in 1904 as Waite, Rose & Taylor, and this was eventually shortened to the Waitrose name we all recognise today. Waitrose has their head offices in England and has a total of 335 supermarkets across the UK, including 65 ‘little Waitrose’ smaller convenience stores. Waitrose is marketed as being upmarket (they even supply groceries to the Royal family), however, they pride themselves on being affordable for everyone, and offering discounts and offers both online and in-store. Waitrose stores are open for long hours for your convenience, usually from 7 am until 8 pm, with the smaller convenience stores open longer. If you are wanting to find one of their stores, they are located at the following locations: London, Birmingham, Bristol, Oxford and more.
If you love the Waitrose offers and specials, you can join their loyalty scheme called myWaitrose, which gives you exclusive discounts and savings, as well as access to competitions and even free tea and coffee in-store. You can find out more and sign up easily on their official website waitrose.com (UK). Those who love shopping around for deals can compare the deals in the Waitrose ads with the other Groceries, and similar stores include the following: Aldi, Asda, Bestway, B&M, Booker Wholesale, Co-op, Costco, Iceland, Lidl and Morrisons.
