WAITROSE CONFIRMS OPENING DATE FOR NEW HAMPTON HILL STORE
Waitrose’s new store in Hampton Hill will open at 8am on Thursday 28 November, Teddington Town can reveal today
The formerly vacant 179-181 Hampton Hill building is currently being transformed into a ‘little Waitrose’ convenience shop ready to welcome its new customers at the end of the month.
The shop has created more than 30 new jobs with all new employees becoming Partners in the John Lewis Partnership, the UK’s largest employed owned company which Waitrose is part of, along with John Lewis department stores.
It will become the first shop Waitrose has opened in the UK in six years and will help shape the blueprint for future Waitrose convenience stores with the opening set to trigger one of its biggest periods of expansion as it plans to open up to 100 new convenience stores in the next five years.
After the store opens at 8am on its first day, trading hours for the shop will be 7am-11pm from Monday to Sunday.
More details on what the store will offer its new customers will be shared soon.
Newly appointed shop manager, Chris Kern, said: “Hampton Hill is somewhere we have wanted to be for a very long time and we cannot wait to give our new customers the opportunity to enjoy the quality of service and products our brand is synonymous with, especially as we enter the excitement of the festive season.”
