Waitrose Direct

With a history of more than a hundred years, and more than 240 stores throughout the UK, Waitrose Direct is one of the most recognised food retailing names in the UK.

From its very first shop in Acton Hill, West London, in 1904, Waitrose Direct has come a long way, and now operates in most of the major towns and cities in the United Kingdom, with over hundreds of suppliers, tens of thousands of products, and with a staff of more than 37,000.

Now, with the advent of online shopping, Waitrose Direct is making its name in online retail too, and offers a real alternative to other online stores, such as Tesco, which has previously been dominant in the grocery sector for several years.

Even though Waitrose Direct customers are often looking for the best in grocery quality, Waitrose Direct is serious about corporate responsibility, and concerns regarding the environment, and ethical-trading practices, also remain important to Waitrose Direct.

However, while continuing to ensure that Waitrose Direct products are of the highest quality, Waitrose Direct still offers better value for money than many other similar types of grocery store. As many consumers all too often find with other retailers, going cheap can sometimes be more costly than they planned.

Much more than just an online version of your local Waitrose Direct, the Waitrose Direct Online Store is a one-stop shop for just about anything you can think of, including all the finest of wines, recipe ideas, kitchen goods and lots more.

Here are just some of the great products and services you'll find at the new Waitrose Direct UK website:
