Really!!! We're getting a Waitrose! Albeit a small one. And not until November 2012. So anything could happen. But YES!!! We're getting a Waitrose!
The 148 bedroom Travelodge being built next to the Big Issue offices at the bus station will have a WAITROSE below it.
According to the developer's website "the retail element of the scheme has been pre-let to Waitrose".
And sure enough, Waitrose has put in a licensing application with the Council.
We're getting a Waitrose!
SW8 gentrification now official.
I was more expecting Nando's at this end :)
ReplyDeletejust made a squee noise, which is probably totally unnecessary
ReplyDeleteHurray, hurray, hurray. The Little Waitrose concept is really good - we've got one opposite where I work. They stock an amazing variety of produce for their size and real food not all ready meals and stuff in jars like the other supermarket chains metro stores.
ReplyDeleteI think my excitement about this means my transformation into middle aged and middle class is complete.
Great news, we so need this in Vauxhall

brilliant stuff, we also have a Little Waitrose that's just opened near my work, and I've been amazed at how much good stuff they have (especially compared to the nearby Sainsbury's which is twice the size but nowhere near as good)
ReplyDeleteAnd it's next door to the Big Issue? There will be some battle for the pitch outside.
