Waitrose is the food retail division of the John Lewis Partnership where it operates alongside – and increasingly in tandem – with John Lewis department stores. The partnership bought Waitrose in 1937. Waitrose has a reputation for an upmarket food offer with a strong focus on product quality and provenance. Retail Week provides news, analysis, features and opinion about Waitrose and the grocery sector.
Marks & Spencer has overtaken Waitrose as the grocer Middle England for the first time, as well as outstripping every other supermarket in sales growth.
Take-home sales at the grocers hit their highest point of the year, even as inflation began to inch up in the run-up to the all-important Christmas period.
Waitrose has unveiled the first part of its Christmas ‘whodunnit’, featuring a star-studded cast for its festive season ad campaign.
John Lewis Partnership and customer data specialist Dunnhumby have launched a new insights platform designed to provide real-time insights to partner brands as well as to the retailer.
Waitrose has struck a partnership with Just Eat to bolster its on-demand delivery proposition.
