The convenience format store in The Core shopping centre is expected to open by the end of November 2010 following a multi-million pound refurbishment.
The announcement comes after the retailer reached an agreement for a 5,271 sq ft (sales) vacant retail unit. As well as being the first Waitrose in central Leeds, it will be the retailer’s first convenience shop in Yorkshire.
The new shop will create up to 60 jobs for the local area with all employees becoming ‘partners’ in the John Lewis Partnership.
