Overview
- Morrisons has reopened five Market Street meat and fish counters and publicly listed eight more for reinstatement, making 13 confirmed locations in its phased roll‑out.
- The company said the move follows customer feedback and a year of operational learning after it closed 70 counters in 2025 as part of wider cost cuts.
- Reopened counters will keep a traditional manned service while adding flatbeds, grab‑and‑go options and new practices intended to cut waste and improve yield.
- Morrisons has not committed to restoring all 70 previously closed counters and says further reopenings will be decided selectively as part of ongoing restructuring.
- The reversal restores butchers and fishmongers to some stores and signals the retailer is balancing shopper demand with cost pressures that also include planned Morrisons Daily closures.
