Much like any Waitrose store on the UK high-street, the
Waitrose Online Store provides much more than just a great range of groceries and award-winning selections of wine.
Where once the Waitrose online store was a mere shadow of the
Tesco online store, and a limited range of goods combined with a lacklustre website to drive many customers elsewhere, the new Waitrose website provides an excellent online shopping experience, with more products than you can shake a shopping trolley at!
However, more than just a great range of products, the new Waitrose website provides some great information on all manner of useful subjects. Not least are the useful Waitrose recipe guides and wine guides, but there is lots of useful tips and information on a wide range of other products too.
Even though
Waitrose customers are often looking for the best in grocery quality, Waitrose is serious about corporate responsibility, and concerns regarding the environment, and ethical-trading practices, also remain important to Waitrose.
However, while continuing to ensure that Waitrose products are of the highest quality, Waitrose 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.
With a history of more than a hundred years, and more than 240 stores throughout the UK,
Waitrose 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 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 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.
