Morrisons Confirms Closures at More Than 100 Sites, Including 52 Cafés and All Market Kitchens

Morrisons says the overhaul refocuses spending on core supermarkets, putting 365 roles at risk.

Overview

  • The retailer set out plans affecting 52 in-store cafés, all 18 Market Kitchen hot-food counters, 13 florists, four pharmacies, and 35 meat and 35 fish counters.
  • Seventeen Morrisons Daily convenience stores are included, with most of those sites having already closed earlier in the year.
  • Morrisons says some colleagues will be redeployed, while others face redundancy as part of the restructuring.
  • The company cites operating costs out of line with usage and customer value as the reason for withdrawing underused services.
  • Management says vacated spaces may be repurposed or replaced by third‑party specialist offers where appropriate.
