Waitrose has opened its first new supermarket in eight years, launching a store in Cricklewood, north London, as part of a £1bn investment plan. A second new store in Hale Barns, Greater Manchester, is due to follow next month, signalling the grocer's renewed push into expansion after a long pause on openings.
Why now: Waitrose's resumption of store openings after an eight-year gap marks a notable shift in its investment strategy.
