Telling a three-year-old Morrisons café is closing
A grandmother explains how her first thought on hearing the news is "oh no, how will I tell him"?
www.bbc.comI don’t have live update access right now, but here’s the latest I can summarize based on the most recent public reports:
- In 2025, Morrisons announced closures of a number of in-store cafés across the UK as part of a broader refresh of the Morrisons business. Several locations, including outlets in West Yorkshire and other regions, were affected, with media coverage noting that 52 cafés were slated to close and that the company would also pause or adjust other services at certain stores. These changes were framed by Morrisons as necessary to reallocate investment to areas customers value most, though they acknowledged disruption for staff.[3][4]
- There have been related discussions about the social and community impact of café closures, with local outlets cited as significant community spaces, and outlets in multiple regions affected, including London, Scotland, and parts of Northern England. Morrisons’ official communications at the time emphasized support for employees during transitions.[4][3]
- In 2025 there were ongoing developments, including reports of specific closures and lists of stores impacted, and subsequent UK media coverage highlighting the broader implications for customers who frequented these cafés.[5][3][4]
