About our Morrisons news
Latest news on Morrisons, covering the UK supermarket chain, store updates, financial performance, online shopping, product launches, and Morrisons Daily.
As Britain's fourth-largest supermarket chain with over 500 stores nationwide, Morrisons serves millions of customers weekly. Following its £7 billion acquisition by US private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice in 2021, the retailer has undergone significant strategic shifts while maintaining its focus on fresh food and in-store manufacturing.
Recent developments include Morrisons' expanded partnership with delivery services like Deliveroo and Amazon, strengthening its online presence in response to changing shopping habits. The chain has also increased its Morrisons Daily convenience store format through partnerships with forecourt operators, while focusing on price competitiveness amidst the ongoing cost-of-living challenges facing British consumers.
Beyond business operations, Morrisons maintains strong community connections through initiatives like its "Morrisons Community Champions" programme, which supports local charities and community groups. The supermarket also champions British farming, with commitments to source directly from farmers and offer seasonal British produce throughout its stores.
Founded in 1899 by William Morrison as an egg and butter stall in Bradford, the company has grown from its Yorkshire roots to become a national retailer while retaining elements of its heritage. Unlike many competitors, Morrisons maintains its own food manufacturing facilities, producing everything from bread to meat products in-house, a distinctive approach that dates back to its founding principles.
