– The store opens on Friday 15th August 2025 –
Morrisons has opened a new Morrisons Daily store in Castleford, West Yorkshire to provide a fresh and affordable shopping experience to the local area.
The 4,200 sq ft store is located on the edge of town, near residential communities where over 600 new houses are currently under construction. With more than £5 million invested in developing the area, it’s the perfect spot for locals to grab essentials they need and fill their baskets with the products they know and love.
The Morrisons Daily is part of a newly built forecourt designed to support the expansion of the local area by providing everything residents need. The store is also conveniently located between two motorway junctions on the M62 (J31 and J32) making it ideal for travellers to fill up or charge their cars with the 3,000 kW rapid fast chargers that are available, or keep themselves fuelled up with food from the grab & go section.
Avon Retail are taking on their largest franchise site yet, with their first Morrisons Daily store. By joining the Morrisons franchise network, they aim to offer customers a wide range of supermarket-quality products from a brand they trust.
Victoria Lockie, Head of Wholesale Strategic Projects & Acquisitions at Morrisons, said: “The opening of this new store couldn’t come at a better time as the area continues to grow and welcome new residents and businesses. It’s a great example of how our franchise model can bring high-quality retail services and fresh food to expanding communities. We're proud to be partnering with Avon Retail and are confident the store will quickly become a valuable asset to those in the area or passing through.”
Yakub Valli, Director of Avon Retail, said: “As long-standing members of this community, we understand how vital it is for local residents to have convenient access to quality, affordable food. Our partnership with Morrisons allows us to provide just that, and we can’t wait for people to engage with the store’s wide range of products and services.”
Morrisons now has over 700 franchise stores operating in forecourts and local neighbourhoods across the UK. Independent retailers interested in becoming a Morrisons franchisee or learning more about Morrisons Wholesale can visit the Morrisons website.
