Morrisons has revealed the exact dates it will be closing 17 of its Morrisons Daily convenience stores. The supermarket chain announced last month that it was going to close 52 of its in-store cafes and 17 of its smaller stores as part of a major overhaul.
Alongside this, Morrisons said it would be closing down a number of its hot food counters, meat counters, fish counters, florists, and pharmacies across its supermarket store estate. Morrisons blamed the move on the government’s hike in employers’ National Insurance alongside the rise to minimum wage this month.
At the time, the supermarket chain did not share which stores would be impacted. However, it has now revealed the full list of 17 convenience stores that will shut. Alongside this, it has shared that all of them will be closing for good this month. All of the stores will be closing next week on Wednesday, April 16. The only exception to this is the Haxby Morrisons Daily store, which will be shut down a month later on May 14.

The closure of the Morrisons Daily stores has an even bigger impact on the local community, as alongside the supermarket, the local Post Office site – located inside the branch – will also be going. Overall, around 11 post office sites will shut down because of the supermarket closures, and these will close between April 9 and April 15.
