Morrisons closures: The Birmingham stores and cafes set to close, including in Stirchley and Edgbaston

One of the UK’s largest supermarket chains has announced that up to 365 jobs could be at risk due to plans to close some of its cafes, convenience stores, florists, and fresh food counters - with two Birmingham establishments set to close.

Morrisons said these services were becoming more costly to operate than the revenue generated from customer spending.

While many of the impacted staff are expected to be redeployed to other roles within the company, around 365 employees are still at risk of redundancy. Rami Baitieh, Morrisons’ chief executive, said the changes were a “necessary part of our plans to renew and reinvigorate” the chain and invest in areas that “customers really value”.

The closures will affect 52 cafes, all 18 market kitchens, 17 Morrisons Daily convenience stores, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters, and four pharmacies. See the Birmingham stores cafes and market kitchens that are set to close below.
