Overview
- Morrisons has introduced pre-packaged meat in 60 UK supermarkets as part of its in-store modernisation drive
- The company plans to extend the new flatbed display model to 100 stores by the end of 2025 to speed service and cut labour costs
- This shift follows the closure of 35 meat and 35 fish counters along with 17 Daily stores, 52 cafés, 18 Market Kitchens and 13 florists
- Customers retain access to custom cuts on request as butchers remain available to assist beyond the self-service option
- Chief Executive Rami Baitiéh said the changes are vital to rejuvenate Morrisons and focus investment on the areas customers value most
