Waitrose in Leeds seeks 24-hour alcohol sales licence variation
A Waitrose supermarket in Leeds has applied to extend its alcohol sales hours to operate around the clock.
The application would allow alcohol to be sold 24 hours a day from the Meanwood store, primarily to support online orders.
The application has been submitted by Waitrose Limited to Leeds City Council to vary the premises licence for Waitrose on Green Road, Meanwood, Leeds, LS6 4RJ.
Under the proposal, the store is seeking permission to extend the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The notice states that the change is primarily intended to facilitate online ordering, rather than altering the in-store retail offer.
Full details of the application can be inspected at Leeds City Council’s licensing authority offices at the Civic Hall during normal office hours, or by contacting the council via email.
Members of the public and responsible authorities can submit written representations to the licensing authority up to and including April 17, 2026.
