Morrisons may have dropped a place to fifth in the list of top UK supermarkets this week, but that hasn’t derailed its plans to open “thousands” of new Morrisons Daily stores.
Founded in 1899 by William Morrison in Bradford, Morrisons is also on track to open its 500th site across the UK and Channel Islands by 2023. It currently stands on 486 stores, although there are 906 locations in the UK.
Morrisons hit the news earlier this week for other reasons, after reports surfaced that they turned off the 'beeps' on their self-service tills in respect of the Queen who died a few days ago. But a spokesperson denied the claims, saying: "Our checkout beeps are not off, they have just been turned down as our music and tannoy announcements have been switched off in stores.”
