Morrisons to close 54 cafes and 14 stores across UK
Supermarket chain Morrisons has confirmed it will shut more than 50 of its in-store cafes and a number of Morrisons Daily convenience stores as part of a restructuring programme Morrisons is set to shut more than 50 of its cafes and several Morrisons Daily convenience stores across the UK, resulting in a loss of more than 3,600 jobs in another hit to the British high street. This comes as the retailer announced a return to profit for the first time since its 2021 private equity takeover. The supermarket chain boasted a pre-tax profit of £2.1 billion for the year ending October 27, 2024, a stark contrast to losses of £919 million the previous year and £1.3 billion the year before that. A significant chunk of this profit, £2.6 billion, came from the sale of its petrol forecourts to Motor Fuel Group. It comes after Gordon Brown blasts the return of 'poverty of 60 years ago' as he makes one big demand. READ MORE: Mindless yobs damage 41 cars in vandalism rampage through sleepy market town While the forecourt sale was a major contributor to the profit rebound, Morrisons' underlying performance also saw improvement, with losses in continuing operations being cut in half to £538 million from £1.09 billion. The chain reported a 3.9 per cent rise in like-for-like sales and a 4.2% increase in total sales to £3.9 billion in the second quarter of its current financial year. However, recent filings at Companies House reveal that the company has downsized its workforce from 104,819 to 101,144, affecting store staff, manufacturing, distribution, and head office roles. Chief Executive Rami Baitieh said the focus remains on delivering value to customers amid a challenging economic climate characterised by inflation and subdued consumer spending. In an earlier statement, the CEO said: "Against the backdrop of a challenging macro environment, with inflation driving subdued consumer sentiment, value remains at the forefront of customers' minds. "Throughout the first half, we've worked hard on helping customers through these challenges with a rigorous focus on price, promotions and meaningful rewards for loyalty." Earlier this year, Morrisons announced the closure of 17 Morrisons Daily stores, with the last one in Haxby, North Yorkshire, shutting its doors on 14 May. The supermarket giant has also confirmed that over 50 in-store cafés will be closing down. These closures are part of a broader cost-cutting trend seen across the supermarket industry. Aldi, Tesco, and Sainsbury's have all reported job cuts in recent months, with Sainsbury's also closing all of its in-store cafés.

Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons basics cost compared
Since buying my first house and car recently, I knew I had to make some serious financial changes, especially when it came to the weekly food shop. It's safe to say the budget-friendly supermarkets have both been serving their purpose and compared to the bigger-named shops such as Tesco and Asda, I started saving around £50 a week. But over the last few months, I wondered which of the retail giants are now the cheapest when it comes to buying your everyday essentials, including milk, bread and eggs. As I hadn't stepped foot in the likes of Sainsbury's and Morrisons in quite some time, I decided to buy the same (ish) six basic items from four of the major UK supermarkets to see which is currently offering the cheapest goods that most households use every day. Let me tell you – I was shocked. Disclaimer: I didn't include products from Lidl and Aldi as they are consistently named the UK's cheapest supermarkets by Which? in their monthly shopping analysis (not a bad thing), so therefore focused on the four big names (Morrisons, Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's). I also tried my very best to match the size/weight of all the items, depending on availability in my area, to make my research as fair as possible. However, I can confirm that all the food was the cheapest I could find in the shops at the time I visited. UK Supermarket Rankings 2025 Cost of milk, bread, cheese, eggs and more at Morrisons, Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's Morrisons British Skimmed Milk 4 Pint - £1.65 Savers Baked Beans (410g) – 26p Savers Mild White Cheddar (400g) - £2.79 Savers Medium Sliced White Loaf (800g) – 55p Savers Chopped Tomatoes (400g) – 45p Savers 6 Free Range British Eggs - £1 Total = £6.70 Morrisons also offered a lot of items which were price-matched to Aldi or Lidl, such as the can of chopped tomatoes and bread. I was also shocked to discover they sold a Savers range, similar to Asda's Just Essentials and thought it was a great option for families. Do you often shop at Morrisons for everyday essentials? (Image: Newsquest) Asda Asda British Milk Skimmed 4 Pints - £1.69 The BAKERY at Asda Soft White Medium Sliced Bread (800g) – 74p JUST ESSENTIALS by Asda Chopped Tomatoes in Tomato Juice (400g) – 45p JUST ESSENTIALS by Asda Baked Beans (410g) – 28p JUST ESSENTIALS by Asda Mild White Cheddar Cheese (400g) - £2.79 Asda 6 Medium Free Range British Classic Eggs – £1.84 Total = £7.79 I thought Asda was going to be the cheapest out of these four supermarkets (Image: Newsquest) Tesco Tesco British Skimmed Milk 4 Pints - £1.65 Tesco White Toastie Bread Thick Sliced (800g) – 75p Tesco Italian Finely Chopped Tomatoes (400g) – 47p Tesco Baked Beans In Tomato Sauce (420G) – 42p (I didn't actually buy any beans from Tesco as the few tins they had left were damaged, but I still noted the price) Tesco Mature Cheddar (400g) - £3.15 Tesco 6 Free Range Medium Eggs - £1.75 Total = £8.19 Tesco used to be my go-to supermarket (Image: Newsquest) Sainsbury's Sainsbury's British Skimmed Milk 4 Pint - £1.65 Sainsbury's Toastie Thick Sliced White Bread (800g) – 75p Sainsbury's Chopped Tomatoes Can (400g) – 47p Stamford Street Co. Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce (400g) – 26p Sainsbury's British Mature Cheddar Cheese (400g) - £3.15 Sainsbury's 6 British Free Range Eggs Medium - £1.75 Total = £8.03 I noticed the toastie thick sliced bread at Sainsbury's was actually an Aldi price match. I also found that Sainsbury's Stamford Street Co. brand often had cheaper products than the supermarket's standard range, and was a replica of Savers at Morrisons and Asda's Just Essentials. How much do you spend on your weekly shopping? (Image: Newsquest) UK's cheapest supermarket for everyday essentials revealed Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Based on the shopping I bought at Morrisons, Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's using their essential/basic or own-branded ranges, Morrisons claimed the title as the cheapest supermarket from the four big names. In all honesty, I was pretty shocked because I don't tend to hear about Morrisons being one of the cheapest places to shop. The shopping at Morrisons was more than £1 cheaper compared to Tesco. But it was close to £2 cheaper when it came to the likes of Asda and Sainsbury's. Recommended reading: Additionally, it was interesting to see that the supermarkets were charging near enough the same for 4 pints of semi-skimmed milk and white bread. It seems cheese was the most expensive essential to buy across the board, while all tins of beans and chopped tomatoes remained well under £1. So, will you be switching up your usual supermarket when it comes to your weekly shop to see if you can save any money? Let us know in the comments below. Fear not, no food will be wasted from my very important shopping research, as it will be distributed to family, friends and supermarket donation boxes.
