Waitrose to move overseas

Monday, 31 December 2007
Waitrose is to expand outside the UK for the first time.

The supermarket chain has signed a licensing agreement to open more than 20 sites in the United Arab Emirates by 2010, according to the Financial Times.

The first store will open in April.

Waitrose has signed a deal with Spinneys, a Dubai-based store operator that already sells a range of Waitrose products, to set up Waitrose-branded shops.
