Morrison’s has now increased the opening hours for stores across the UK.

The change to opening hours, which took effect from the 3rd of May, is part of a drive to make the trading periods for all Morrisons stores easier for customers to remember while also responding to their changing shopping habits.

Research conducted amongst shoppers at Morrisons over the last two years has shown that customers would like to see stores open longer, as well as having more consistent opening times throughout the week.

Mark Harrison, Morrisons Group Retail Director, said:

“At Morrisons we are committed to staying in tune with our customer’s changing needs and it is clear from our research that shoppers’ lifestyles are changing with people working longer hours or working different shifts.

“By ensuring that our trading periods remain the same from Monday to Saturday this makes it much easier for customers to remember while extending our opening hours in areas where there is the demand it means shoppers can access the products and services they need, when they need them.”
