Future expansion

Waitrose aims to extend its store presence whilst improving price perceptions and developing an integrated multi-channel offer.
Welcome Break Waitrose

Waitrose is currently undergoing the biggest period of expansion in the company's history and is setting ambitious targets to establish the brand in new locations throughout the UK with sights set on opening more little Waitrose convenience shops and larger supermarkets across the UK in 2012.

A proposed 25,000 sq ft shop is planned to open in Stirling in 2013 to add to our four existing Scottish stores. New branches will open in the Fulham Palace Road, London and Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire this year.

To support its continued expansion across the north of England and Scotland, Waitrose has announced plans for a new regional distribution centre in Chorley, Lancashire.

Waitrose online shopping service continues to grow and is now in over 140 branches.

Waitrose and Boots UK are working together and there are currently 19 Boots shops trialing Waitrose 'food for now' and 'food for now & later' products.
