Morrisons Nears Completion of Nationwide Checkout Overhaul Across UK Stores

The retailer says new tills will speed barcode scanning to sustain service levels.

Overview

  • Morrisons has been updating both colleague‑operated and self‑service checkouts since May 2025, with the refresh due to finish very soon.
  • New, sleeker black tills are replacing older models as part of a nationwide rollout, with stores such as Swindon already completed.
  • Some shoppers report the upgraded machines look newer and scan barcodes more reliably.
  • The grocer has enhanced accessible toilets across England, Scotland and Wales with stoma‑friendly features recommended by Colostomy UK, including hooks, a shelf, a discreet bin and a mirror.
  • Morrisons is proposing to integrate its supermarket and company‑owned convenience operations, a move that could place more than 100 head‑office roles at risk.
