&nbsp;


    New concept brings sportswear, footwear, wearable technology, recovery, AI-powered fitness and expert services together in one destination
    Multi-million-pound investment transforms Sports departments at Oxford Street, Liverpool and Cheadle, and creates a completely new department in Glasgow, as part of John Lewis&rsquo; wider &pound;800m transformation programme
    New concept responds to the way customers increasingly shop around a fitness goal, with joined-up experiences across shops, online and the app

&nbsp;
John Lewis is reinventing sports retail with the launch of a new Sports &amp; Wellness concept, becoming the first UK retailer to bring sportswear, footwear, wearable technology, recovery, AI-powered fitness and expert services together in one destination.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Launching first at the Oxford Street store before rolling out to Liverpool, Cheadle and Glasgow, the multi-million-pound investment transforms how customers shop for fitness, health and wellbeing by bringing together everything they need to support the way they train.
&nbsp;
The investment forms part of John Lewis' wider &pound;800m transformation programme and reflects the retailer's strategy of creating more inspiring, joined-up shopping experiences across its shops, website and app.&nbsp; With the wellness industry expected to grow to &pound;141bn by 2034, a growth rate of 3.6% according to IMARC, John Lewis is positioning itself as a key category player.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Customers increasingly shop around a fitness goal rather than an individual product or traditional retail category. Someone training for their first marathon, for example, may need technical clothing, footwear, a GPS watch, headphones, recovery products and advice on finding the right fit.
&nbsp;
The new format brings all those needs together for the first time, allowing customers to discover, compare and try products, access specialist services and receive expert advice in store, supported by the breadth and convenience of John Lewis' online range.
&nbsp;
Each department spans some 5,000 sq ft, creating space for customers to move easily between apparel, footwear, technology, home fitness and recovery.
&nbsp;
Rather than separating products into traditional retail categories, the departments are arranged around activities including running, training and outdoor pursuits, helping customers find everything they need for their fitness journey in one place.
&nbsp;
John Lewis believes it is uniquely placed to offer the concept through its combination of premium global brands, expert Partners, nationwide shops and strong digital offer, enabling customers to move easily between inspiration, advice and services in store and the breadth and convenience of shopping online.
&nbsp;
The retailer has also seen growing demand for connected wellness. Sales of fitness trackers have increased by almost 30% year on year, connected fitness home equipment sales are up 27%, while searches on johnlewis.com for Therabody massage guns have risen by over 250% and searches for red light therapy have increased by 380%, reflecting growing customer interest in performance, recovery and wellbeing.
&nbsp;
Customers will be able to shop premium sports brands including Nike, Brooks and Patagonia alongside wearable technology from Garmin, Oura and Whoop, recovery products from Therabody, and premium home fitness equipment from Peloton, NordicTrack and Speediance.
&nbsp;
The concept also introduces free gait analysis, ranging from a self-service scanner offering quick recommendations to more in-depth treadmill-based analysis via Peloton, helping customers find the right footwear for the way they run and train. John Lewis will have specially-trained Partners within the departments to help customers find the right footwear based on their gait analysis.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
AI-powered fitness will feature through MagicAI's intelligent fitness mirror, which provides personalised, on-demand training, real-time rep counting and form correction. It will be the first time the technology has been available in stores outside London and the South East, reflecting the growing role AI is playing in how customers train and track their performance.
&nbsp;
Monthly 'Jog Lewis' run clubs will also launch across all four locations, giving customers the opportunity to join social-paced group runs, test products, access expert advice and connect with local running communities.
&nbsp;
Peter Ruis, Managing Director of John Lewis, said: "Customers increasingly shop around a goal rather than a traditional retail category. Whether someone's training for their first marathon, taking up Hyrox or simply looking to live a healthier lifestyle, they want everything they need in one place.
&nbsp;
"Our combination of leading brands, expert Partners, nationwide shops and strong digital offer means we're uniquely placed to support customers across every part of their fitness journey - from finding the right footwear and technical clothing to discovering the latest wearable technology, home fitness and recovery products.
&nbsp;
"This is another important step in our wider investment to create more inspiring, joined-up experiences for customers, however and wherever they choose to shop with us."
&nbsp;
The department is now open at John Lewis Oxford Street, followed by Liverpool on 19 August, Cheadle on 26 August and Glasgow in late September.
The full Sports &amp; Fitness range can also be found at johnlewis.com and through the John Lewis app.

    New research reveals a massive cultural shift as 42% of UK adults are combining exercise with social plans more frequently than ever before*
    As the popularity of 'social-cising' grows, John Lewis responds with a multi-million-pound investment across four major UK stores, combining leading global apparel and footwear with the newest wellbeing technology&nbsp;
    Monthly 'Jog Lewis' run clubs will be hosted for customers at each of the four stores

&nbsp;
A new era of fitness has arrived, as nearly half of UK adults (42%) admit to combining exercise with social plans more frequently than ever before*&nbsp; - a phenomenon called 'social-cising'.&nbsp;

This trend has gripped the UK, with new research from John Lewis highlighting that 57% of the nation would be likely to choose an exercise activity, such as a run, padel, a cycle or a fitness class, combined with socialising over traditional social activities such as drinks or eating out.&nbsp; Saturday is the most popular day for 'social-cising', offering a healthy, time-efficient way to stay connected.

Nearly six in 10 adults (57%) now combine their exercise with social activities at least once a month, but for one in ten (13%) it's multiple times a week. This is especially true in London, where 50% claim to be 'social-cising' at least once a week.&nbsp;

For two fifths (39%) of the nation, connecting with friends is one of their main motivations to participate in group sports and fitness. Amongst Gen Z this rises to 59%, highlighting how sports clubs, group runs, and fitness classes are becoming a core part of their social life. Half (53%) of this demographic enjoy sharing their exercise activity on social media for their friends and followers to see, with Instagram (67%) being the most popular platform to do so.&nbsp;

This research comes as the retailer announces a multi-million-pound investment in its Sports department, transforming four stores into curated sport and wellness destinations; Oxford Street, Liverpool, Cheadle and Glasgow.

It's clear that wellness is no longer just about the workout, people have become hyper-focused on how they prepare and recover. Over half of UK adults who exercise (57%) now track their biometric data, and John Lewis has seen a +27%** increase in sales vs last year on fitness trackers as popularity continues to grow.

Fifty per cent of those who exercise also say active recovery is key to their overall fitness and lifestyle management. Searches for 'Therabody massage guns' are up 260%** on the John Lewis website, while searches for 'red light therapy' have risen 377%**.

In response, John Lewis has created a central wellness tech hub bringing together Whoop, Oura and Garmin and Apple Watch, alongside elite recovery tools from Therabody and Lumi Therapy cold plunges to make it easier for customers to find what they need. By showcasing this wellness technology directly alongside apparel and footwear for the first time, including new brand Nike, and other customer favourites such as Adidas, Puma, and Under Armour, John Lewis offers a unique one-stop-shop for training, performance and recovery.

Enni Charlton, Sports Buying Manager, says:&nbsp;"We're really excited that our new in-store format breaks the traditional retail set up; integrating wearables, recovery tools, and fitness equipment directly alongside apparel and footwear.&nbsp; By zoning the floor by activity rather than product category, we're able to offer our customers a brand new discovery space that makes it easier to find what they need."

One sport that will have a big focus in store is running. It's a discipline that's grown massively post-pandemic, with record race demand, rising popularity of 'run-fluencers' and growing participation in run clubs across the country. Tapping into this demand, John Lewis will be launching its very own monthly 'Jog Lewis' run clubs at each of the four stores. The first run club will be hosted by ASICS, where customers will be able to join John Lewis and ASICS for a social-paced group run, test the latest shoes, and enjoy expert advice. Tickets available online.

The rollout of the reimagined store floors begins at John Lewis Oxford Street on 30 July, followed by Liverpool on 19 August, Cheadle on 26 August, and Glasgow in September.

All brands and products can also be found online and via the app.&nbsp;

<title><![CDATA[Waitrose invests in cooler stores to help keep customers shopping through hotter summers]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[ Download Download

As Britain prepares for another spell of hot weather, Waitrose is continuing to invest in new refrigeration technology designed to help improve the availability of chilled products for customers during periods of extreme heat.

As UK summers become hotter and more frequent heatwaves put increasing pressure on retailers, Waitrose is accelerating investment in its refrigeration systems to make stores more resilient while improving energy efficiency.

As part of its £1bn investment programme, Waitrose has been modernising refrigeration across its estate. More than 100 Waitrose branches - including recently refurbished shops in Newbury, Bloomsbury, Barnet and Menai Bridge - feature the latest generation of cooling technology with the installation of new fridges that can withstand Mediterranean-level heat.&nbsp;

This summer's heatwaves provided the latest real-world test of those systems. Waitrose found its newest refrigeration technology proved more resilient than older equipment.

The retailer is now developing the next generation of cooling technology, combining refrigeration with heat pumps to enable external cooling equipment to continue operating in outdoor temperatures of up to 48°C.

Waitrose has also redesigned its refrigerated cabinets to better retain cold air, helping them operate more efficiently and perform more effectively during prolonged periods of high temperatures.

Tina Mitchell, Waitrose Retail Director, said: "Customers rightly expect to be able to shop for fresh and chilled food whatever the weather. That’s why we’ve been investing in modernising our refrigeration systems for many years.

"This summer shows our latest refrigeration technology is more resilient than older equipment, and we’re continuing to accelerate investment across our estate.

"As hotter summers become more common, we’re continuing to invest in technology to keep products at peak freshness, help our stores perform reliably and improve energy efficiency."

<title><![CDATA[First week of summer holidays and heatwaves spark record staycation sales at Waitrose]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[

    The UK&rsquo;s most stunning staycation spots - including Menai Bridge, Truro, and Bridport - are bracing for the summer rush, with Waitrose shops predicting sales spikes of up to +23% in some stores
    Driven by &lsquo;storecupboard stock up&rsquo; missions, customers are filling their baskets with multipack cereal, frozen pastries and olives +50%, +75% and +25%
    Holiday prep is already underway for many, with searches on johnlewis.com spiking for swimming goggles and beach towels +200% and +74% in the last week

Waitrose is gearing up for what it expects to be the biggest staycation summer on record. Rather than heading abroad, customers are packing up for the UK 'staycation&rsquo;, driving a huge spike in demand in the South West and the UK&rsquo;s top coastal hotspots, particularly across Cornwall, Dorset and coastal Wales.*
Amy Tristram, Forecasting Manager at Waitrose, says: &ldquo;It looks like we&rsquo;re staying put&nbsp; for the summer and embracing the great British staycation. As people flock to the UK&rsquo;s top coastal hotspots, we expect to see summer sales increase across our key holiday destination branches - including the likes of Truro, Sidmouth, Dorchester, and East Cowes - as food lovers stock up on their ultimate holiday favourites.&rdquo;
Projected summer sales increases by key destinations:

    Menai Bridge (Wales): +23%
    Truro (Cornwall): +17%
    Bridport (Dorset): +17%
    East Cowes (Isle of Wight): +17%

Amy Tristram continues: &ldquo;Over summer, we mainly see a cupboard stock-up mission in our top &lsquo;destination&rsquo; branches, with a rush for cupboard staples and family bulk-buys as everyone gets settled in. Our customers lean heavily into easy, nostalgic holiday classics. It&rsquo;s all about those effortless, crowd-pleasing favourites - multipack cereals for quick mornings, fresh croissants for lazy breakfasts, and deli treats like jarred olives to enjoy in the evenings.&rdquo;
In key &lsquo;destination&rsquo; branches, in summer Waitrose see sales for:

    Multipack cereal +50%
    Baked beans +50%
    Pasta +40%
    Rice +30%
    Frozen pastries +75%
    Tea and Coffee +30%
    Jarred Olives +25%
    Chilled Pizza and Breads +30%
    Morning Goods (croissants etc) +20%
    Beer and &lsquo;Ready to drink&rsquo; cans +20%
    Sparkling wine and Champagne +15%

To keep up with the influx of holidaymakers, Waitrose is putting extra delivery drivers on the road in key holiday hubs - including doubling the delivery fleet for the Truro and Newquay areas - to make sure beach houses and holiday cottages stay fully stocked.
At John Lewis, customers are also gearing up on holiday essentials. Compared to this time last year, searches on Johnlewis.com for:

    &lsquo;Beach towels&rsquo; +74%
    &lsquo;Women&rsquo;s swimsuits&rsquo; +84%, with &lsquo;Belted swimsuit&rsquo; +200%
    &lsquo;Boys swimming shorts&rsquo; +165% and &lsquo;girls swimsuit&rsquo; +175%
    &lsquo;Swimming goggles&rsquo; +200%
    &lsquo;Waterproof jewellery&rsquo; +50% and &lsquo;waterproof eyeliner&rsquo; +33%

<title><![CDATA[Waitrose invests in more ways to shop to reflect changing customer habits]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[

    New shop in Chelmer Village introduces &lsquo;neighbourhood&rsquo; format
    Waitrose is actively seeking &lsquo;right size, right location&rsquo; sites as part of a multi-year plan
    Investment forms part of a &pound;1bn programme spanning shops, online and new channels

Waitrose is putting customer choice at the heart of its expansion plans with a highly localised, multi-format store strategy matching size, layout and ranging directly to regional demand. In 2024 we opened our first store in six years. So the current programme is the first sustained estate growth in the best part of a decade.
Supported by a &pound;1 billion investment plan spanning its shops, online offer and partnerships across on-demand grocery and travel retail, Waitrose is giving customers more flexibility in how, when, and where they shop.
The move comes during a period of strong momentum for the grocer, with Waitrose currently outperforming the market. Waitrose continues to expand its customer base, increase customer satisfaction and build brand loyalty, demonstrated by a 6% year-on-year increase in My Waitrose membership and a 10-point jump in Net Promoter Score.
&lsquo;Neighbourhood&rsquo; Shops
Marking the latest milestone in its agile estate strategy, Waitrose is introducing its &lsquo;neighbourhood' concept at its brand new shop in Chelmer Village, Essex. Bridging the gap between a convenience store and a full-line supermarket, the format combines accessibility with the breadth, quality and inspiration customers expect from Waitrose.
Designed for busy, suburban neighbourhoods where Waitrose is already popular, the 7,000 sq ft mid-size stores offer a fast, easy shopping experience with an intuitive layout. Stocking more than 6,500 products, they fulfill a variety of customer needs - from a fresh top-up shop to tonight&rsquo;s dinner and discovering something new - helping establish a trip to Waitrose as part of the weekly routine.
Multi-Format Physical Estate
Waitrose&rsquo;s &pound;1 billion investment programme includes 28 refurbishments and highly targeted expansion across multiple formats this year alone:

    Supermarkets: two full-line shops are scheduled to open in Hale Barns, Manchester, and Cricklewood, London, in the autumn. Another to open at Brabazon in Bristol, part of a major new city district.
    Neighbourhood: Chelmer Village Retail Park is the latest location for Waitrose&rsquo;s mid-sized format.
    Convenience: a new shop in Ascot is also due to open in the autumn, designed for quick, easy shopping.
    Travel Retail: Waitrose continues to scale its presence across major transport hubs. This includes four new RELAY shops opening this year at Heathrow Terminal 2, alongside existing partnerships with 35 Welcome Break sites and 107 Shell forecourts.

To best serve its current estate and unlock further growth, Waitrose will also open its first distribution centre in Avonmouth, South West England, early next year.
Waitrose is actively seeking new leasehold and freehold opportunities across accessible, high-footfall locations in towns, suburbs and city centres. The grocer welcomes proposals for locations that would benefit from its high-quality products, industry-leading welfare standards, expert service and commitment to local communities.
Tina Mitchell, Waitrose Retail Director, said: &ldquo;As the 'Home of Food Lovers,' our growth is shaped by adapting to how our customers live and shop. Today's consumers no longer rely on a single weekly trip to the supermarket; grocery shopping is an omnichannel experience.
&ldquo;Backed by our multi-year &pound;1 billion investment plan, our ambition is to be wherever our customers want us. We are looking for high-footfall, &lsquo;right size, right location&rsquo; sites nationwide to make it easier than ever for people to experience our uncompromising standards, quality and expert Partner service.&rdquo;
Multi-Channel Approach
Underpinning the physical estate is an online offering that further expands Waitrose&rsquo;s availability across the UK. In addition to its primary online grocery service, Waitrose.com, the retailer has strengthened its rapid, ultra-convenient grocery capabilities through partnerships with Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats.
Modernising the Waitrose estate
Waitrose is investing in its entire estate of 320 stores as part of a multi-year programme. This year, it's refurbishing 28 stores, having completed 23 last year.

<title><![CDATA[Heatwaves trigger surprise spike in winter comfort foods from cottage pies, to gratins and red wine]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[

    Pie sales soar with cottage pie +110% and Chicken &amp; Ham Gratin and South African red wine +68% in the last month
    Recipe searches on Waitrose.com for spaghetti bolognese, toad in the hole and mac &lsquo;n&rsquo; cheese +91%, +67% and +57% in the last month
    Driven by the &lsquo;reverse comfort eating&rsquo; trend, with customers pivoting back to rich, grounding classics

As the UK faces unprecedented heatwaves, consumer spending reveals an unexpected shift in dining habits. Shoppers are showing clear signs of 'feta fatigue,' bypassing traditional summer salads in favour of cold-weather comfort foods - with sales of hearty pies, cheesy gratins and bold red wines soaring despite the rising temperatures.
Stephen Parkins-Knight, Senior Innovation Chef, says: &ldquo;Forget the thermostat, when a heatwave goes on, raw salads and chilled plates can often lose their cool fast. What we&rsquo;re seeing is a trend in &lsquo;reverse comfort eating&rsquo; - after spending all day drained by the heat, people crave rich, grounding staples to recharge, pivoting back toward comfort and familiarity. Think flaky pies, slow-simmered chilli, soul-warming soups, and a bold glass of red. Because when the weather goes extreme, appetite doesn't follow the mercury, it follows what feels real, familiar, and deeply good. And honestly? That's not just a trend that's instinct, with a side of gravy."
In the last month, sales for:

    South African fine red wine +68%
    Waitrose No.1 Chicken, Bacon &amp; Leek Pie +41%

    Chicken &amp; Ham Gratin +68%

<title><![CDATA[One million tins of baked beans delivered to Felix to help tackle UK hunger]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[

    Major food dispatch to get underway as over eight million1 people across the country face food insecurity
    Innovative partnership uses surplus production capacity to provide meals for charitable distribution
    Waitrose also joins forces with pasta and fruit suppliers. Together, the collaborations will share the equivalent of over 1.9 million meals to those in need


One million tins of baked beans will be produced for people facing food insecurity this summer through an innovative partnership between Princes, Waitrose, Alliance Food Sourcing (AFS), and Felix (formerly The Felix Project and FareShare).&nbsp;

The collaboration will see cans of Branston Baked Beans distributed through Felix's network of over 8,000 community organisations, schools, food banks and community kitchens, providing thousands of meals for people who need them most.&nbsp;

Inspired by the legacy of The King&rsquo;s Coronation Food Project, the project forms part of the wider work of Alliance Food Sourcing (AFS), a coalition that brings together leading UK food businesses to unlock surplus food and factory capabilities and turn it into meals for charities.

Unlike traditional food redistribution programmes that rely solely on surplus items, the donation of baked beans has brought together manufacturing, retail and charity partners to start donating the British store cupboard staple over the coming months.&nbsp;

By unlocking surplus factory capacity and supply-chain resources, the partnership has created a new way of getting more nutritious food to communities facing hunger. Princes is optimising its state-of-the-art facilities to produce additional volumes of beans during quieter periods throughout the year.&nbsp;

The move represents a shift in how the food industry addresses food insecurity. With standard retail surplus donations being inconsistent, the project gives a vital boost to the food supplies distributed by charities.&nbsp;

Waitrose is also currently trialling similar initiatives with its pasta supplier, Daybreak, and its fresh fruit supplier, Primafruit.&sup2; Combined, the three initiatives are on track to divert the equivalent of over 1.9 million meals to Felix, the UK&rsquo;s largest food rescue charity, by the end of the year.&nbsp;

David McDiarmid, Corporate Relations Director at Princes Group, said: "Baked beans have been a cornerstone of the British kitchen for decades thanks to their versatility and long shelf life. We are delighted that our first successful venture with Alliance Food Sourcing is on Branston Baked Beans, as they provide an accessible and nutritious meal option, with one can containing over 24 grams of fibre. We have partnered with Felix for over a decade and donations of stock is a matter of routine and something all our colleagues are passionate about, so we are proud to go &rsquo;beyond surplus&rsquo; food and instead use our manufacturing capability to actively produce food for people who need it."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Marija Rompani, Director of Ethics and Sustainability at Waitrose said: "This isn't just about donating surplus food; it's about exploring how we can work closely with our suppliers to rewrite the rules in our supply chain and unlock surplus that can make a real difference to our communities."&nbsp;

Nicky Robinson, Director of Alliance Food Sourcing, said: "We're delighted to see Waitrose, Princes, Daybreak and Primafruit showing what can be achieved by working together. By adapting their supply chains, food businesses can redirect factory capacity or rescue edible food to help tackle UK hunger. Innovations like these mean millions more meals are already reaching people who need them - often through relatively simple changes."

Charlotte Hill OBE, CEO of Felix said: "Unfortunately the demand for food amongst the charities and organisations Felix supplies keeps rising. That is why projects like this are vital, it not only shows what partnerships and innovative thinking can achieve, it ensures Felix, which is the new name for merged charities FareShare and The Felix Project, receives a steady supply of a much sought after family favourite."


Notes to Editors



1 Food Insecurity Tracking | Food Foundation
2 The three projects will deliver the equivalent of over 1.9 million meals (with one meal defined as 420g) through food redistribution charity, Felix :

    
    The equivalent of 995k meals of baked beans in collaboration with Princes Group
    By bringing together latent capacity in ingredients, packaging and logistics, one million cans of baked beans will be produced for charitable distribution. The first cans have just arrived with Felix, with the trial continuing to at least the autumn.
    
    
    The equivalent of 715k meals of fresh fruit with Primafruit
    Fruit grown for supermarkets can naturally create surplus at peak times. Waitrose is using its existing supply infrastructure to ship this additional volume and divert to Felix. The project is on track to deliver a total of 715,000 meals by the end of the year.&nbsp;&nbsp;
    
    
    The equivalent of 240k meals of pasta with Daybreak
    Surplus is often generated when there is a changeover in pasta variety in the production process. Utilising existing packaging and logistics, the pasta is imported from Italy, with the equivalent of 240,000 meals having already been saved and redistributed.

<title><![CDATA[Heatwave drives earliest ever harvest at Waitrose Leckford Estate]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[ Download

Waitrose has officially commenced its earliest ever harvest of wheat and oilseed rape at its Hampshire-based farm, the Leckford Estate.

As the only UK supermarket to own and operate its own farm, Waitrose has stepped up harvesting schedules ahead of the traditional calendar. The unprecedented early start is a direct result of unseasonably high temperatures, which have caused the crops to ripen much faster than usual this year.

The Waitrose Leckford Estate spans 2,800 acres and serves as a testbed for sustainable farming practices, ensuring that the supermarket's commitment to biodiversity and regenerative agriculture is practiced firsthand.

"The record-breaking heat we are experiencing is a stark wake-up call to our changing climate," says Dave Miles, Farm Manager at the Leckford Estate. "Due to these unprecedented temperatures, this is the earliest wheat harvest we have ever seen, and our teams have been working tirelessly to bring the crop in safely.&nbsp;

"It is a powerful reminder of why regenerative farming and farming with nature is so essential. By building healthier soil with high organic matter, we can dramatically increase water retention, keeping crops viable even in extreme drought conditions."

<title><![CDATA[From sweet to spicy: why savoury cocktails are ruling this summer]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[


    
    Waitrose has reported a surge in sales of tabasco (+27%), Worcestershire sauce (+25%), and lime juice (+28%) as shoppers replicate complex, savoury Mexican-inspired serves at home
    
    
    Savoury drinks trend is being fuelled by social media and London bar culture as shoppers are opting for pickle juice and upgrading traditional salt rims with Mexican seasoning and herbs
    
    
    Customers have been ditching the sweet serves for spicy Mexican cocktails such as Micheladas, Spicy Margaritas, Picklebacks and Spicy Palomas
    
    

&nbsp;
Waitrose has reported a significant shift in at-home drinking habits, with shoppers snapping up savoury ingredients to recreate their favourite spicy serves at home. Fuelled by ingredients and flavours found in popular Mexican cocktails, customers are adding salt and Mexican seasoning rims, a kick of tabasco, pickle juice or a beer-base to their evening tipple.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Lizzie Haywood, Trend Innovation Manager at Waitrose says:&nbsp;"The classic salt rim was first brought into Western bar culture through margaritas, and has now become a staple-feature for so many popular cocktails! On social media and in London bars, we are seeing an influx of people getting creative with salt rims, looking to enhance their savoury cocktails, whether that be with the addition of Mexican seasoning for spice, citrus zest, or even herbs such as basil or rosemary, for an extra fragrant touch!"&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Sales at Waitrose are up for:



    
    Maldon Chilli Sea Salt +19% compared to last week.&nbsp;
    
    
    Cooks' Ingredients Mexican Style Seasoning +40% compared to last year.&nbsp;
    
    
    Cooks' Ingredients Basil +13% compared to last year.&nbsp;
    
    

&nbsp;
Jourdan Gabbini, Beer, Cider &amp; Spirits Buyer at Waitrose says:&nbsp;"Mexican cocktails are a great option for those looking to embrace the savoury drinks trend this summer. So many are led by those bold, salty and spicy flavours that our customers are loving at the moment.The spicy margarita is a classic example, using lime juice for an acidic freshness, and Mexican seasoning and salt on the rim for that signature kick. These flavours can easily be added to other cocktails for a savoury twist - for example a spicy paloma has become increasingly popular, because the salt and tajin cuts perfectly through that tart grapefruit.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Alternatively, the malty, beer-based Michelada is a really unique savoury cocktail that lends itself really well to the other savoury flavours, which include tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. It&rsquo;s a really delicious option for those looking for an alternative to spirit-based cocktails."
&nbsp;
Compared to last year, sales at Waitrose are up for:



    
    Cooks&rsquo; Ingredients Lemon Juice +33%&nbsp;
    
    
    Lea &amp; Perrins Worcestershire Sauce +25%&nbsp;
    
    
    Tabasco Pepper Sauce +25%&nbsp;
    
    
    Cooks' Ingredients Lime Juice +28%
