Waitrose

We are the main supermarket in Sandbach and have a mission to give everyone in Sandbach quality food.

We located just away from the cobbles on Flat Lane, CW11 4BE.

Waitrose is part of the John Lewis Partnership, and operates under a constitution drawn up by our founder, John Spedan Lewis. He wanted to create 'a better form of business', and treating suppliers fairly is an important part of this. Although we always seek a good deal for our customers, we also expect to offer producers a fair return and develop supportive, long-term relationships with them.

This means we can help producers in poorer countries invest for the future, as well as being sure they operate to high ethical standards. Waitrose was the first supermarket to sell loose Fairtrade bananas, thanks to our partnership with a group of 100 small growers on the Windward Islands. We guarantee them a year-round fair price, and regularly send our buyers and agronomy specialists to the Islands to offer advice and help with anything from fertilisers to packaging. All bananas sold at Waitrose are now Fairtrade.

We stock an industry leading range of many fairtrade lines both as part of the core range and in specialist 'foodie' products.
