Morrisons has announced further operational changes, continuing a trend of closures begun last year. The supermarket planned to close 145 locations, including 17 Daily Stores and 52 cafes.
Many of these sites have already been shut down, but some Market Kitchens, pharmacies, and florists remain at risk of closing before 2026.
"In most locations, the Morrisons Café has a bright future, but a minority have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option."
"Market Street is a beacon of differentiation for Morrisons and we remain committed to it. But as we modernise we are making some necessary changes to the areas of the model which are simply uneconomic."
"In some stores where we are closing counters or Cafés, we plan to work with third parties to provide a relevant specialist offer."
Morrisons is streamlining its physical presence by closing underperforming stores, cafes, and pharmacies to focus on sustainable operations and partnerships with third parties for specialized services.
