SUPERMARKET chain Waitrose has announced its products are now available in two East Lothian stores.

More than 600 Waitrose products are now available in Margiotta’s 10 shops, including in Aberlady and Gullane.

Ready meals, free-from and vegan ranges, prepared fruit and vegetables, meat, snacks and store cupboard staples are now available, as well as flowers and seasonal foods, which will include selection from the Waitrose Christmas range.

Edinburgh-based Margiotta opened their first East Lothian store in Aberlady last spring before a second branch opened its doors in Gullane in June this year.

Franco Margiotta, managing director of Margiotta Food & Wine, was pleased with the partnership, with Waitrose products appearing in the two East Lothian stores from yesterday (Wednesday).

He said: “We are delighted to be stocking Waitrose food and drinks in our stores not only because of the quality of the products but also because of the new and increased range that we can now offer.

“We have always strived to bring the best food products for our customers to enjoy and I am sure that they will be equally delighted in our partnership with Waitrose.”
