NATIONAL loose food retailer The Food Weighouse has introduced Internet shopping to compliment its chain of outlets.

Consumers can log on to the website at www.thefoodweighouse.co.uk and browse around the virtual store. A wide range of goods is available online including a large selection of dry, loose foods and an extensive collection of health supplements.

Chris Lewis, chief executive of The Food Weighouse, believes this service is just what certain shoppers are looking for.

"The Internet gives customers another option when they are doing their shopping," he said.

"It has become an important trading instrument for the weekly shop and we want to be at the forefront of this electronic revolution."

The site also gives information about opportunities available to franchisees and facts and figures about the company and the franchise process.
