Waitrose has announced the opening date for its new Hampton Hill store.

The store, located at 179-181 Hampton Hill, will open its doors at 8am on Thursday, November 28.

The building is currently being transformed into a Little Waitrose convenience shop.

The new store has created more than 30 jobs, with all employees becoming partners in the John Lewis Partnership.

This is the first shop Waitrose has opened in the UK in six years.

It will serve as a model for future Waitrose convenience stores, as the company plans to open up to 100 new stores in the next five years.

The shop will be open from 7am to 11pm, Monday to Sunday.

Chris Kern, the newly appointed shop manager, said: "Hampton Hill is somewhere we have wanted to be for a very long time and we cannot wait to give our new customers the opportunity to enjoy the quality of service and products our brand is synonymous with, especially as we enter the excitement of the festive season."

Further details on what the store will offer its new customers will be shared soon.
