The shop on La Rue des Pres, which will be the first Waitrose has operated outside the UK, will be opened by Peter Hanning, Connétable of St Saviour.
Having invested significantly in the store’s development, Waitrose has also invested in the shop’s ‘partners’ (as its employees are known), who have taken part in extensive training over the past two weeks in preparation for the opening.
The supermarket has recruited over 100 partners to work in newly created posts across its three Jersey branches, and over 200 former employees of Sandpiper CI Ltd in Jersey are also becoming partners.
A number of environmentally friendly initiatives have been introduced at the St Saviour store, including HFC-free fridges.
