Morrisons <\/strong>has confirmed it will close 17 stores as part of a major restructuring plan. The closures are due to rising financial pressures including National Insurance contributions and a minimum wage increase. The decision was made as part of efforts to streamline operations and reduce costs. As reported by Manchester Evening News<\/a>, these closures will affect multiple locations across the UK, with April 2023 marked as the start of the process, followed by further closures in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial Struggles and Restructuring Efforts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The closures stem from the increasing operational costs that Morrisons is facing. The rise in National Insurance<\/a> and the scheduled minimum wage increase have placed significant financial strain on the retailer. As a result, the company has decided to restructure and focus on streamlining its operations, closing stores that have become less profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company hopes that by reducing the number of smaller Morrisons Daily<\/strong> stores and some other non-essential services, it will better position itself to thrive in the competitive retail landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full List of Morrisons Daily Stores Closing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of the restructuring, 17 Morrisons Daily<\/strong> stores will close, with the closures taking effect on April 16, 2023<\/strong>, for most locations. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
