A1 service station near Peterborough unveils brand-new Waitrose as part of 2026 expansion
The Welcome Break service station is also opening a new Starbucks and Taco Bell later this year
A popular service station on the A1 near Peterborough has unveiled a brand-new Waitrose & Partners shop as part of its wider expansion plans.
The new store at Kate’s Cabin, on the outskirts of the city, recently opened to customers as part of Welcome Break’s plans to grow the service station.
Later this year Taco Bell and Starbucks will be added to the current offering at Kate’s Cabin.
The opening of all three new units will create 30 jobs.
Since opening in 1939, Kate’s Cabin has grown to become one of the biggest service stations on the A1’s northbound carriageway.
Adrian Grimes, COO at Welcome Break said: “The all-new Waitrose & Partners at our Kate’s Cabin site, is part of an ongoing commitment we have to locals and road users to upgrade our offering.
“Later this summer, we’ll also be unveiling a Taco Bell and Starbucks Drive Thru, so road trippers and locals alike, can grab a Mexican-inspired feast and coffee ‘pick me up’ on their journeys!”
