Because the Co-op has merged with Somerfield in Llanfairpwll, Waitrose has come to Porthaethwy.

(Oops! I managed to insert a clickable link on a previous post, but this one doesn't seem to have worked.)
There's a cafeteria and two smart new loos (instead of the rather poor-DIY-looking one that was there before).
I haven't bought anything there yet.
On my first visit, they had run out of the newspaper I wanted, so my visit ended as soon as it had begun.
On my second visit, it was so busy that there was no chance of finding what I wanted and getting to a till in the time available - but I saw several delicacies that Tesco recently discontinued, and that I can't find anywhere else.
Two things that I didn't know:
Waitrose is the foodie aspect of John Lewis
Ocado is the delivery service for Waitrose goods
What's odd about the second is that everyoen has been saying that this is the only waitrose in North Wales - but I'm sure that I've seen an Ocado van in North Wales - so where would that have come from?
