Waitrose says the move towards convenience shops is in response to consumer habits and demand.
The supermarket said the new stores would be opened across England, Wales and Scotland but said it could not share the exact locations of all of them.
The company, which is part of the John Lewis partnership, currently has about 45 Little Waitrose stores, which are largely located in the south of England. The supermarket said it planned to invest £1bn on its expansion plans and to improve its existing 329 stores, some of which are part of motorway services and petrol stations.
"Such stores are easier to gain planning permission with greater site availability than traditional, larger, supermarkets whilst they are also cheaper and quicker to develop," he said.Asda previously revealed plans to open 300 convenience stores by 2026.
