Morrisons closing: full list of UK stores and cafes affected by closures, which pharmacies are closing - news

• A UK supermarket has announced plans to close various in-store services, including cafes, convenience stores, and fresh food counters
• Up to 365 jobs could be at risk, though many staff will be redeployed within the company
• Affected closures include 52 cafes, 17 Morrisons Daily stores, 35 meat and fish counters, and 4 pharmacies
• The supermarket chain said rising operational costs were to blame for the changes

One of the UK’s largest supermarket chains has announced that up to 365 jobs could be at risk due to plans to close some of its cafes, convenience stores, florists, and fresh food counters.

Morrisons said these services were becoming more costly to operate than the revenue generated from customer spending.

While many of the impacted staff are expected to be redeployed to other roles within the company, around 365 employees are still at risk of redundancy.

Rami Baitieh, Morrisons’ chief executive, said the changes were a “necessary part of our plans to renew and reinvigorate” the chain and invest in areas that “customers really value”.

“Although these changes are relatively small in the context of the overall scale of the Morrisons business, we do not take lightly the disruption and uncertainty they will cause to some of our colleagues,” he said.

The closures will affect 52 cafes, all 18 market kitchens, 17 Morrisons Daily convenience stores, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters, and four pharmacies.
