Editing Droitwich Spa (section)

===Retail===
Droitwich shopping is mainly focused in the traditional town centre around Victoria Square, leading to the St Andrew's Square shopping centre and down to the original High Street, with its local pubs and an eclectic mix of traditional shops. [[Farmers' market]]s are also held regularly in Victoria Square.

In the central St Andrew's Square shopping precinct are several chain stores. On 14 July 2005, [[Waitrose]] opened a new supermarket in the grounds of the old covered market, directly behind the heavily subsided High Street. In 2008, a new [[Aldi]] store opened on the small retail park by Roman Way while the new Parkridge Retail Park was opened in 2007 with two new stores, [[Carpetright]], since closed, and [[Land of Leather]]. There was also a Horsatack Saddlery store on the same park, which was opened in 2009. The park already has [[DFS (British retailer)|DFS]] store. There is also a Spar on Oakland Avenue, a [[Tesco Express]] on Primsland plus a new [[Sainsbury's]] store and petrol station and [[Marks & Spencer]]'s store and petrol station being constructed. In 2019 a Lidl supermarket opened opposite Aldi, increasing the competition in the area.
