Brand New ‘Little Waitrose’ Shop Opens In Southwick

Waitrose Southwick opening
  • Offers fresh top up shopping including popular dine in and lunchtime meal deals
  • 22 new local jobs created
  • Delivery service available via Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat

This morning [29th May], Waitrose welcomed customers through the doors of its brand new ‘Little Waitrose’ shop in Southwick, West Sussex in the formerly vacant Southwick Square building.

The 3000 sq ft shop offers over 3,000 products from Waitrose’s popular own brand ranges including Waitrose No. 1Essential Waitrose - a value range which doesn’t compromise on quality, taste or animal welfare, and Waitrose Duchy Organic across a wide range of categories including fresh, chilled and baked products; alongside favourite branded products. 

Customers will be able to take advantage of Waitrose’s popular £5 lunchtime meal deal which includes a main, a snack and a drink, as well as Waitrose’s No.1 Evening Meal Deal for two, which offers a main, side, and a starter or dessert.

The drinks area is stocked with a carefully selected range of award-winning wines, and responding to demand for lower alcohol drinks an expanded range of low and no alcohol wines and beers.

Local customers will be able to order home delivery from the shop using Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat, and pick up John Lewis orders from the shop. 

The opening of the shop has created 22 new local jobs. All new employees are now Partners in the John Lewis Partnership, the UK’s largest employed owned company which Waitrose is part of, along with John Lewis department stores. 

Newly appointed Shop Manager, Lauren Eastman, said: “We’re truly delighted to open our doors and show customers around our brand new shop which will help shape the blueprint for future Waitrose convenience shops.

“We hope they’ll love our quality products as much as we do. My team and I are ready to give them the great service Waitrose is renowned for.”

The shop’s normal trading hours will be 7am-10pm from Monday to Sunday.
