Many of our stores feature a restaurant or coffee shop where customers can enjoy refreshments or meals in a relaxed and welcoming environment. We offer a calendar of events and experiences that bring people and communities together, and we have a national charity partner that both our colleagues and customers raise money for. We’re committed to being a great place to work, encouraging our colleagues to be the best version of themselves every day, to share their wins, and celebrate success.
