McColl’s Retail Group has opened its 200th Morrisons Daily store following the conversion of the McColl’s store at Stockport.
The rollout of Morrisons Daily stores is a key component of McColl’s’ strategic focus on food-led convenience, driving incremental sales and sales-mix improvement across the store. McColl’s remains on track to complete 450 Morrisons Daily store conversions by the end of FY22.
The store conversion programme re-commenced in early February 2022, following a scheduled pause over the Christmas and New Year period, and so far in 2022, the Group has opened 31 Morrisons Daily stores, with a further seven will be converted next week with the full support of Morrisons.
Chief executive of McColl’s Jonathan Miller said: “We are extremely pleased to reach the milestone of 200 Morrisons Daily stores. The Morrisons Daily stores are fundamentally reshaping our business into a more profitable and sustainable model in the medium term, as well as providing customers with access to a wider range of products, greater value and a supermarket-quality fresh food and grocery offer.
“It’s been a brilliant effort from the teams of both businesses to deliver this number of store conversions in such a short period of time and I want to thank them and our 16,000 colleagues who have continued to work incredibly hard to keep supplying our community stores with the food, goods and services they need.”
