Has anyone heard of Morrisons opening in Birkenhead or has one already opened? I have no idea where the store is or going to be. It's a Morrisons Local apparently.

They are definitely opening a Morrison's Local in Birkenhead as I've seen jobs advertised for it, but I don't know where, the closing dates were last month so it can't be far away. I remember there being some talk of morrison's locals taking over a shop but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

It all depends if Asda own the building. Didn't they take over all Nettos to become Asda stores?

And if there's a "big" Asda a few hundred yards away I can't see them selling or leasing it to Morrisons.

I heard that Morrisons had bought out a few Blockbuster stores, so maybe there is your answer?

Apparently it is the old Blockbusters over the road from the market.

That's it Zipper, thanks. Been doing my head in all day that has. Yes Morrison's have bought Blockbusters for their M Local stores. Only 64 of them though, so not sure if the one in Birkenhead will be a Morrison's. It seems odd to open something like that so close to Asda, but then who knows?

And the market. Plus that car park is always full and always patrolled by parking attendants so I can't see it doing that well.

ASDA & MORRISONS share the same car park in Dover, so they do open next to each other.
