Morrisons closing 100 UK locations by end of the year

UK supermarket company Morrisons is set to close more than 100 specific locations across the UK, including several across Yorkshire.

Despite still being considered one of the giants of the sector here in Britain, Morrisons is continuing its previously announced ‘restructuring’ by adding a number of other shops to the chopping block.

The chain had already announced that a slate of 50 Morrisons Cafes would be closing earlier this year, but now other brand branches are expected to follow suit.

While their major supermarkets will remain virtually untouched, several Morrisons Daily convenience stores, florists, pharmacies and, despite often being busy come lunchtime, multiple Market Kitchens.

Despite insisting the business is in good shape and has a “bright future” ahead, Morrisons‘ chief executive, Rami Baitieh, confirmed that “a minority [of sites] have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option.”

It’s also believed that 35 butchers’ counters and the same number of fishmongers are set to wrap up as part of the shake-up.

As per The Manc, you can see the full list of Morrisons Cafes closing down below, including several across the region on some in Leeds, specifically.
