The second of three Waitrose branches in Jersey has opened for business in St Helier.
Over the past four weeks, the branch has received a brand new look and staff have undergone training in preparation for opening.
Constable of St Helier, Simon Crowcroft, officially opened the shop located on La Vallée Des Vaux, St Helier, which comes a month after the opening of the supermarket’s first Jersey branch in St Saviour.
Waitrose St Saviour has had a“very successful” first few weeks of trading with sales exceeding the retailer’s expectations, and it is hoped that the St Helier branch will follow in its footsteps.
The St Helier shop occupies approximately 16,000 sq ft and is located in an“ideal spot” for many town workers in and around the area. The shop offers fresh meat, cheese and deli counters. It also has a range of options for lunch on the go or in the office including salads, sandwiches, snacks and ‘Made in Branch’ baguettes.
Graham Heald, director of Waitrose Jersey, said:“This is a very exciting time for us. We have been overwhelmed by the response we’ve had so far from shoppers in Jersey and hope that Waitrose St Helier will receive and equally warm welcome.”
As part of Waitrose’s ongoing commitment to the community, Waitrose St Helier will donate £12,000 to good causes and charities this year through its ‘Community Matters’ scheme. Here £1,000 will be allocated between three charities each month, as voted for by shoppers. For the first month, Headway, The Animal Shelter and Janvrin Primary School are the three local community causes will benefit.
