Sure. Waitrose is one example - here anyway.

The one here sells more than food.


It's pretty clear why Waitrose are dearer than Lidl. You can get half a
dozen wheelchairs side by side down the aisles, and you're never more
than 6" away from a helpful member of staff. I'd rather not pay extra
for stuff I don't regard as a benefit, such as lighting to make their
tasteless vegetables look enticing

I get the impression Harrod's food hall is about as far down market as
Andy will venture.

Have you ever been in there? It's pretty boring. Besides, they don't
have a Royal Warrant any more. Plus, who would want to slog into
central London to go food shopping - or any kind of shopping for that
matter.

I prefer the small specialist places.
