Truro: Opening

Waitrose Truro opened on 16th June 2016. The following appeared in The Gazette at the time.

Waitrose has opened a new store in Truro this week [16/6/2016], marking the first of several new branch openings in the coming weeks.

More than 1400 people applied for the 114 jobs available at the new store, which is Waitrose’s second in Cornwall since Saltash opened 16 years ago, and is now its most southerly branch.

The new 21 000 sq ft shop shares an entrance with the Great Cornish Food Store which is dedicated entirely to local food and drink, next door.

Waitrose Branch Manager Chris Reynard says: “We are proud to be creating a fantastic destination for people who love great food. We cannot wait to welcome our new customers.”
