Mapped: The Morrisons stores which have closed across the UK The grocer said its proposals came after a “wide-ranging review” found these services were not financially viable This interactive map shows where Morrisons closures are taking place (Image: Jason Roberts /Manchester Evening News ) Supermarket giant Morrisons is closing 17 stores and many of its in-store services including 52 cafes and 18 market kitchens - and this interactive map shows you where the closures have happened across the UK. As well as the full store and market kitchen closures, 13 Morrisons florists are set to close as well as 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies. The grocer said its proposals came after a “wide-ranging review” found these services were not financially viable. While the majority of staff impacted by the closures will be redeployed within the company, Morrisons confirmed around 365 roles are at risk of redundancy.

But it comes despite Morrisons reporting a 4.1% increase in sales for the year ending 27 October, with profits climbing to £835 million from £751 million the previous 12 months, excluding the crucial Christmas trading period.

Article continues below “Morrisons Cafes 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 Cafe 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 Cafes, 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.”
