York supermarket bids to sell alcohol 24 hours a day

A top York supermarket has lodged a bid to open 24 hours a day to sell alcohol in York.

Waitrose, in Foss Islands Road, has applied to extend its opening hours which are currently 8am to 9pm Monday to Saturday and until 5pm on Sundays.

Its application stated 24-hour alcohol sales would be for consumption off the premises.

Waitrose’s application would allow for alcohol to be consumed on site from 7am to 11pm seven days a week, if it is approved by City of York Council.

People can comment on the application until Tuesday, 14 April.

The York site is among a number of Waitroses subject to licensing applications for 24-hour alcohol sales.

The company has lodged bids to extend trading hours and sell alcohol in Cardiff, Cornwall and East Hampshire which are currently awaiting decisions.

Some Waitrose convience stores in service and petrol stations have previously applied to sell alcohol 24 hours a day, including in London.

Applications to extend hours for alcohol sales to take place from 7am to 11pm every day were lodged elsewhere last year.

Waitrose’s York site has traded in Foss Islands Road since October 2010.

The supermarket chain is owned by John Lewis and Partners and operates 421 sites across the UK.
