Joseph Kerr spotted that if you were to believe what Waitrose had sent out, the store would only be open for ONE hour Monday to Saturday.

In a rush to send out the leaflets Waitrose staff forgot to proof the information included and didn’t change pms to ams on the leaflet (pictured) meaning the new store would be open from 8pm-9pm Monday-Saturday.

Joseph posted on our Facebook page: “Waitrose is only open one hour a day Monday to Saturday and all day Sunday.

“Don’t take my word for it, this is from the Waitrose leaflet being posted through our doors. Is this the level of incompetence we should expect from Waitrose?” Brian Murrie, manager of Waitrose Helensburgh, said: “In our excitement over the opening of Waitrose Helensburgh, it seems we forgot to do some final checks on leaflets we sent out to local residents.

“We’d like to reassure everyone who has been waiting for Waitrose Helensburgh that it won’t be open for just one hour each evening. We’ll be open from 8am- 9pm Monday to Saturday and from 9am until 8pm on Sundays. The petrol station will be open for an additional one hour before opening and one hour after closing each day.

“We apologise for any confusion caused and look forward to meeting our new customers on Thursday 24 October - at eight o’clock in the morning.”
