Full list of Morrisons stores that have closed with immediate effect (2025)

Morrisons has closed 16 stories with immediate effect as part of a major-shake that will see the end of dozens of cafés and other services.

Hundreds of jobs were put at risk when the supermarket chain announced plans to close 2 café, and 100 other in-store services like 12 florists, four pharmacies and dozens and meat and fish counters.

It’s the latest in a wave of store closures that saw 13,000 shops vanish from high streets last year. It’s even claimed WH Smith as a victim.

Camping and clothing chain Winfields Outdoors has closed all but one of its stores after more than 50 years in business.

Morrisons closed 16 of its Daily branches on Wednesday next week. Another is planned for May 14.

Which Morrisons stores have closed?

Branches across England, Wales and Scotland have been affected by these closures.

This includes Morrisons Daily stores in towns and cities like Birmingham, Bath and Woking.

Morrisons Daily branches are smaller convenience stores with extended hours.

Some of the affected stores contain Post Offices. Morrisons apologised for the short notice of their closures.

The supermarket chain employs 95,000 people alongside its 1600 Morrisons Dailys and 500 supermarkets.

In-store cafes in London, Leeds, Portsmouth and Glasgow are among those affected.

Fifty two of Morrisons’ 397 cafes are on the list of in-store services to be axed.

The four crucial pharmacies to be wound up are those in the Bradford Victoria, Blackburn Railway Road, London Wood Green and Birmingham Small Heath branches.

Morrisons said these closures are a reaction to ‘significant cost increases’.

The 174 store, counter and services cut were viewed as the least useful or valuable for customers.

Rami Baitiéh, Chief Executive of Morrisons, said:‘The changes… are a necessary part of our plans to renew and reinvigorate Morrisons and enable us to focus our investment into the areas that customers really value and that can play a full part in our growth.

‘Morrisons Cafés are rightly famous for their great quality well-priced food, their place in the local community and their appealing mix of traditional favourites alongside exciting new dishes.

‘In most locations, the Morrisons Café has a bright future, but a minority have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option.

‘Market Street is a beacon of differentiation for Morrisons and we remain committed to it.

‘But as we modernise we are making some necessary changes to the areas of the model which are simply uneconomic.

‘In some stores where we are closing counters or Cafés, we plan to work with third parties to provide a relevant specialist offer.

‘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.

‘We will of course take particular care to look after all of them well through the coming changes.’
