Morrisons plans 100 store closures in the coming months
22nd May 2026 | Jack Oliver
Morrisons is set to close 100 convenience stores over the coming months.
The retailer said the stores – which were acquired through its acquisition of McColls in 2022 – had been loss-making for some time.
Morrisons said difficulties in recent years had been compounded by “significant cost increases resulting from government policy choices”.
This comes after the retailer said last year that it would be closing 52 cafes alongside 17 convenience stores. The chain said its proposal to close more Morrisons Daily stores meant more staff would be at risk of redundancy, and a consultation would start shortly.
Morrisons operates around 1,700 Morrisons Daily convenience stores and opened over 120 franchise stores last year.
