January

Store of the Month:Waitrose, Nottingham. Bit of a cheat this as Waitrose actually opened its first “convenience” store, in Nottingham – at the end of December, but it was January, as near as dammit. At 5,800 sq ft, this compact store has all the departments you’d expect of a full-line Waitrose, just smaller. With a rolling 14-day cycle lunchtime convenience store menu, Nottingham’s shoppers had reason to be pleased. Since January, Waitrose has opened other convenience stores in Bristol and Crouch End.
