WAITROSE has confirmed that it will open a store at 1-3 Gloucester Road this year.
The supermarket chain will move into the former Maplin building, most recently used as the Future Leap co-working and events space.
The shop will be branded a Little Waitrose, like the one at the top of Park Street. Waitrose also has a larger store in Westbury Park.
A Waitrose spokesperson said: “We have wanted to open a shop in St Andrew’s for a long time and can’t wait to welcome local people to enjoy the great food and service we pride ourselves on.
“We look forward to sharing more news when we can.
