High Street Update
Over the last few months there have been a lot of rumours abound about Waitrose potentially moving to Teddington, citing various different locations.
Although Waitrose would welcome the opportunity the bring a store to Teddington in the future, they have unfortunately not been able to find a suitable site that is viable and available to achieve this. That’s not to say they will not look again in the future – clearly there is a desire for such a supermarket and definitely the right customer demographic in the area!
