Overview

• Morrisons will close its last Morrisons Daily convenience store in Haxby on May 14, following the closure of 16 similar sites in April.
• The closures are part of a March 2025 restructuring plan, which also includes shutting 52 cafés, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters, four pharmacies, and all 18 Market Kitchens.
• The company attributes the closures to rising employer National Insurance contributions and increased minimum wage costs.
• The Haxby store’s closure has prompted nearly 1,000 signatures on a petition led by York Liberal Democrat councillors to save the Post Office located within the store.
• Morrisons has apologized for the short notice of closures and is working to redeploy affected staff or advertise Post Office vacancies in impacted areas.
