Morrisons Confirms 145 UK Closures as It Reconfigures Smaller Formats

The retailer frames the cuts as focused modernisation to reallocate uneconomic space, bringing in specialist partners.

Overview

  • The programme covers 17 Morrisons Daily stores, 52 cafes, 18 Market Kitchens, 13 florists and four pharmacies, with national branch lists released.
  • Most Daily convenience stores have already shut, largely on April 16 with one additional closure on May 14, while many other closure dates are still to be confirmed.
  • Closures span England, Scotland and Wales, with named branches including sites in London, Glasgow area, Birmingham, Leeds, Gorleston and Poole.
  • Chief executive Rami Baitiéh says the moves target locations with specific local challenges and that Market Street and most cafes remain central to the offer.
  • Morrisons plans to repurpose affected spaces through third‑party operators and says it will take particular care to support colleagues through the changes.
