Supermarket giant closes major store for a year ahead of 'transformation'

Morrisons has announced the closure of one of its stores ahead of "an exciting transformation".

The Bishopbriggs location will close on Saturday, February 18 to make way for a brand-new store to be built on the site. The new store is expected to open next year.

The supermarket giant has issued advice to customers on how they can continue to shop with Morrisons as the renovation is underway "to mitigate the inconvenience".

A 2200 square foot Morrisons Daily shop at the new petrol station will open on Wednesday, February 15, stocking everyday essentials that customers can pick up alongside their fuel.

It will also have 35 parking spaces for customers who are not looking to access the petrol station.

Thomas MacPherson, Morrisons Bishopbriggs store manager, said:  “We know the residents of Bishopbriggs are eagerly anticipating the opening of our new store and we’re working hard to mitigate the inconvenience while it is being built.” 

"Until the work is complete, the Morrisons pharmacy can also be found at The Triangle Shopping Centre and the Community Champion will remain in place to support the local community."
