Waitrose is to become the UK’s first major supermarket brand to operate a cashless store when it opens in Sky’s new flagship head office building at its campus in Osterley soon.
It will also be the first Waitrose to open on a workplace campus in almost 20 years and at 1,400 square feet will become the second smallest store in the retailer’s estate.
The little Waitrose branded shop will be located inside Sky’s new office building – Sky Central – which will be home to more than 3,500 staff when work is complete. Sky employees will only be able to pay by card or their mobile devices at one of the five self-service checkouts in the store.
