Last week, we reopened the doors of our John Barnes store on Finchley Road after 6-weeks of refurbishment work. 🔨 And it's not just our customers who love the transformation, our Partners do too! 💚 #Waitrose #Retail

We have some exciting moos! We're the first supermarket to moo-ve to free range cream across our own label single, double, whipping and extra thick 🎊 Two years ago we improved our already leaving animal welfare commitment with the pledge that all our dairy cattle will spend at least 183 days a year grazing outside 🌱 Our farmers leave their gates open throughout spring and summer to give all of our dairy cows the freedom of choice to either go outside or, should they prefer, stay inside 🐄 Find our free range cream on shelves and online from this week and click on the link below for further information. #FoodToFeelGoodAbout https://lnkd.in/e69Kcj8N

We’re extremely proud of our Partners, who go above and beyond for our customers. 👏 This week’s The Grocer 33 highlighted that’s no exception at Maidenhead, where the team provide truly fantastic customer service, to be named the winning supermarket. 💚 As their Branch Manager, Mark B., quotes: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” The mystery shopper found that Partners at Maidenhead certainly follow this, clearly working as an incredible team to truly highlight the Waitrose difference and providing fantastic customer service. 🙌 Well done to Mark and the team for securing another incredible win this week! #Waitrose #MysteryShop

We’ve even more reasons to celebrate this week, as Waitrose Newark ticks all the boxes to deliver the latest win of the prestigious 'The Grocer 33 award', where mystery shoppers crown the best performing supermarkets. 🛒 With the tally now up to 11 wins for us this year, the shop achieved a bumper score of 85 marks out of 100, with the efforts of our “knowledgeable and helpful” Partners contributing to such a high score. 🙌 We also really performed on the essentials, with an easy-to-navigate layout, clear signage, tidy trolleys and well presented displays leading to a positive shopping experience. Mark Jackson, Branch Manager for Newark thanked Partners for their work to secure the win, as a “fitting tribute and reward for the commitment and shown every day in trying to do the very best for our customers”. Well done again to our fantastic Partners for securing another great win. 💚 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ebyRwqp3 #Waitrose #MysteryShop #Award

🌱 We’ve expanded our Waitrose Foundation produce range to include herbs - sourcing 13 lines from Kenya with sales reinvested into workers’ livelihoods. 💚 The Foundation is our unique initiative that invests 2% of the retail sales value of products back into our supply chain to benefit growers and their communities. 🌍 When there is less availability from our British suppliers, we’ll source our own-brand Basil, Parsley, Mint, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme from our farm in Kenya - you’ll see the Waitrose Foundation logo on the packets. Last year, the Foundation accrued £2.4m and delivered 254 projects across 10 countries. Read our latest report here ➡ bit.ly/4cCWFzD (♻Don’t forget to bring back the packaging - we recycle soft plastic at 295 of our shops!) #WaitroseFoundation #DrivenByPurpose #WorkerWelfare

No sweat! Our farmers go the extra mile to keep pigs cool in summer ☀ Our sows are outdoors all year round, allowing them to express natural behaviours. In the run-up to hot weather our farmers are busy digging wallows for pigs to cool down in as they do not sweat. Wallowing reduces the pigs’ body temperature and the mud even acts as an effective sunscreen 😎 Our farmers also start work earlier so that jobs are completed in the cooler temperatures to eliminate any heat stress to pigs during hotter periods. All their hard work and dedication ensures our pigs are protected come rain or shine! 🐷 #AnimalWelfare #BritishFarming
