The history of Waitrose
The Waitrose story starts on the high street of West London in 1904, when Wallace Wyndham Waite, Arthur Rose and David Taylor founded their first shop in Acton. Focusing on varied grocery produce, Waite, Rose & Taylor was an instant success with shoppers. In 1908, Taylor left the group and the company became Waitrose Ltd.
John Lewis Partnership took over the business in 1937, which by then had grown into various small grocery shops (and hundreds of employees). But Waitrose’ time to shine came in the early 1950s, when the business of groceries moved into self-service shopping. As one of its new shops was the first to be converted into a self-service format, this put Waitrose in a strong position.
Five years later, Waitrose opened its first supermarket in Streatham, with an enticing 2,500sq ft of groceries and other products on offer.
Although the brand has expertly evolved since then (including introducing online shopping, an app, and opening more branches abroad), the business is still committed to Waite’s original intention to “lift the food trade to a higher plane”.
