Ripon convenience store to be transformed into a Morrisons Daily
The McColl's convenience store in Bondgate in Ripon, will close at midday today (Wednesday) and reopen on September 22 as a Morrisons Daily.
The Post Office counter within the shop closed yesterday and will also reopen on September 22.
The closure will enable changes to the internal layout of the shop and rebranding to take place as part of a national rolling programme of conversion works, following Morrisons' acquisition of the retailer last year.
McColl’s had 1,164 shops when it was bought out of administration in May 2022. Of these, Morrisons said it would sell off 132 which were loss-making, while profitable outlets would be retained and rebranded as Morrisons Daily stores.
In a second-quarter trading update issued in June, Morrisons said the 400 stores it has converted so far had seen increased sales.
