Good for bargains :smiley:
Sad for the staff :disappointed:

​calm down


Morrisons said in a statement: “We are saddened and disappointed to learn that My Local is about to enter administration. We want to help our former colleagues who now work for My Local. We can therefore confirm that if no buyer is found, and stores close, we will welcome our former colleagues back to a job at Morrisons.”

Have they just kept the normal shelf labels on and you get the reduction at the till? I nipped into the Nottingham station branch and nothing was reduced

Ok too start off with my back ground im a my local employee and my store has luckily been brought by co-op so my job is safe. But many staff which has transfered stores or been promoted too seperate store has been made redudant. Morrisons has said that they will be given interveiws. No offical job offers though. All management outside of the stores have been made redundant too like members of hr, area and regional managers and even trainers. there is about 1300 jobs lost maybe more

My daughters store is doing 10 items for £1 today. The fact they still have stuff to sell says to me that one of the reasons they went under was the stock - not selling the right stuff for their market, and holding too much in the store.

Sutton was 70% off everything. Some bits left around 3pm today. Doubt there will be much left tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up got a lot of stuff for 50%-70% off at my local. Feel awful for the staff though. Thanks again HOT HOT HOT <3:smile:

70% off everything in St Albans My Local starting tomorrow (Monday) at 11am. Normal stock levels of everything tonight apart from a few empty sections in the fridges so line up and fill your boots.

Thanks, I agree my local has hardly anything left right now so tomorrow it will probably be derelict.

Does anyone know if the stock will go lower than 70% closer to the time it officially closes? When morrisons shut they reduced everything to 9 pence in the last few hours after the original 50% and 70% deal.

Felt sorry for staff at the store I went to today. Got a load of stuff though, so very pleased for me and my family. Staff seemed in good humour, told me don't worry about, someone's gotta buy it, and it saves them dealing with it.

Thank you OP went before breakfast and got some really bargains
feel sorry for the staff no Morrison remotely close by here

does anyone now which ones in Birmingham are doing it?

The MyLocal in Longwell Green ceases to trade at 7:30pm on Monday everything 70% off. Got £30 worth of shopping for £8 but not much left now! All staff lost their jobs. They have a sign saying that they are try into find a new supplier. The lady who works in there told me that all the shops except 2 will close so 128 to shut. However Morrison's have a lease agreement that says that if MyLocal collapses (which it has) the leases will go back to them however they will most likely not open the shops back up and this is only for some shops.

Re-visited the Birkenhead store earlier.
70% off today, although Spirits were all at 'set' prices depending upon size - £9.30 for 70cl, £6.50 (?) for 35cl and £4.50 for 20cl bottles. Spotted one lone bottle of Cointreau which scanned at £8 :smiley:
Thanks again, OP.

Good luck to the staff. I hope they find new positions quickly

NOT ALL STORES - just tried the one in Staines and they are being converted into a Co-op so are remaining open and their existing stock isnt reduced.

Streatham branch selling spirits at half price. I live 200 yards from the store and have made 6 visits. I have enough soup, mince, corn, juices Tec to last a year.Sorry for the staff and I told them so.

Thank you. got some bargains even though not a lot left

70% off everything in our store this morning, still quite a lot of stock on the shelves.

Also regarding the jobs being given by Morrirsons. Not exactly true. Staff have to apply for these jobs and even then there are not enough jobs to go around by far.

Regarding the alcohol there are set prices on the things you buy. 70p per large bottle of beer. 2.50 per bottle of wine. 2.50 per pack of 4 beers. 2.00 per pack of 4 cider cans. Spirits will be reduced down to a set price but not by a lot. Tobbacco is not being reduced and will be transferred to other stores that are not closing.

i guess you work inBristol? ami right? :smiley:
but the prices at Mylocal are really high, though mylocal usually had daily reductions at 30p on everything including chicken, meats, pizzas.

my local 'My Local' had 50% off everything including alcohol, but excluding tobacco today. Sadly no beers were left but i got 2 bottles of french brandy and wine for half price. was told tomorrow everything is 75%, which is good as their prices are rather high and even at 50% off it the same as other shops have on regular offers. but 75% will make a difference.

p.s.my local 'My Local' has been open only for half a year. before it was Morrisons Local, which had been opened for 3-4 month. when morrisons had closing down sale, everything was 50p and then 20p and finally 10p. BUt they sold everything out in one day (actually in half a day) but i managed to get 4 troleys full of food for about £50. BUt actually it is sad to see bussiness closing down:(

The Birmingham city centre store had 50% off but was closed when I walked past around 6pm. Still appeared to have a lot of stock though.

Apparently some stores have been sold, maybe they are the ones not reducing stuff? Administration begins on Tuesday.

My Local in Cardiff was still stocked, no reductions. Will check it out again tomorrow.

Longwell Green store in Bristol had lots of stuff left, most fridge stuff gone, but I came out with 6 bags of bargains.

Got some great deals, thanks for notifying via this post!

was on in South Croydon branch today. not much fresh stuff left at about midday, but still lots of beer and wine.

many cleared shelves in the freezers and cabinets in Birkenhead, though there were still plenty magnums at £3.39 for a box of 3, tins of salmon at over £3 and a lot of bottles of wine priced at £9.99 and higher..........................at those prices I am not surprised that this chain struggled to compete and survive.

I just can't understand how this business has failed. Tesco Express and Sainsbury's Local, even Little Waitrose stores are thriving.

What did Morrisons (and the new owners of My Local) do so wrong? Thought the small supermarket convenience store model worked well. Was it prices, logistics, too much competition, high rents?

121 miles to my nearest. maybe not, then

Some stores have already closed the one in Maldon has been shut for at least the last week if not longer

Thanks for the heads-up, OP.
Got some decent wines, with an extra 15% off as bought 8 bottles. Plus lots of other goodies, some of which will be useful for daughter when returning to Uni.
As others have commented, v. good deals for us but sad news for the staff

I can confirm that the store in Headingley (Leeds) has 50% off. Such a tiny store, absolutely packed with people buying loads of boxes of Walkers crisps (£1.50 for 30 packs).

Plymouth is one REF http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/plymouth-supermarket-closing-down-suddenly-and-everything-is-half-price/story-29443321-detail/story.html#ixzz4Cb0NeTri

We are a tiny tiny tiny store but still take 100k net profit a week?
Net Profit = Total Revenue - Total Expenses
Can't see it myself.

All readyhappening ,Its not even 24 hours since we left the EU and shops are starting to close

Just got back from the Brynn store. Looks like it has been ram raided. All fridges and freezers near on empty. Most of the shelves are bare. Still managed some good bargains, mostly crisps and pop and few houshold items though. 8 pack of Frazzles 50p :sunglasses:

It also includes 50% magazines which is good, especially on crafting ones as they are normally expensive + have things included

In Windermere the MyLocal store is just opposite from a Co-Op. The co-op have cheaper prices and more products whereas MyLocal was a lot more expensive compared to when it was a Morrison Local store. So for me the killer was the price hike on products which drove customers away.

It is now becoming a Sainsburys Local store so maybe things will improve.

I work part-time in a Tesco express attached to fuel. That's the key. We had a morrisons local (now mylocal obvs) open about 3 minutes away, with no fuel. We are a tiny tiny tiny store but still take 100k net profit a week without fuel which is comparable to a clothing store 15x our size. All about location and what you offer. Also I think when mylocal took over most of their products were either trash or highly overpriced. Meal deal for £4.50? Good one.

Anyone know what 12 stores are having the sale then please?

We went 20 miles out and got lots bargains! There was lots of stock left, but not now lol. X

Tobacco and alcohol are about 90% tax and duty so will never be half price.

I literally thought you meant 'My Local Convenience Store'. I was thinking 'where do you live mate?' :smile:

Not too much left in my local - but the 50% was excluding tobacco, all alcohol and spirits!

Got a couple of stores within 7 miles of me. Gunna head out now and hopefully pick up some bargains. Thanks :smiley:

My nearest is Birmingham and I'm pretty sure that'll be bare by now with the locals...

Plenty left in my local store. Well, until I got there anyway lol.

I went just now to my store in Northenden and there were lots of things left and a bit of a queue. I got 13 bottles of good wine for £35.

Thank-you, our store wasn't too busy and there was still a lot of stock on the shelves at 9.30am. Bought £42 worth of shopping for £21! Feel sorry for the staff though, we didn't know they were closing.

Agreed. Our local (Blackburn) had a queue apparently at 7am. Spirits and tobacco were included but only 2 a customer and had all gone when I got there about 9:30. Got 24 bottles of wine (15% off too if buying more than 4). Not a huge amount left.

My nearest store is around 25 miles away so trying to work out if it's worth the journey :/

Which store Britney?

Ive just got back from the store in Worthing.

Beer is reduced, but only in line with legislation on minimum pricing, so most 12x packs £5.99
Wine is reduced by 50% (or at least the ones I bought were)
There is NO discount whatsoever on spirits. This is also due to legislation to that effect (apparently).

Everything else is reduced, but the shelves are not full of stuff, so it will all be gone quite quickly I think. Looks like the good stuff has been pre-removed.

Staff think final closure is Tuesday.

I thought it was still morrisons, went to my local store today, hadn't even realised it was a different store.

thanks op, been to mine twice this morning, everything except tobacco and spirits 50% off. Its pretty empty of anything decent already this morning. Im sure the chap who scanned mine through put the discount through twice, I got some wine for £1.10 a bottle and kingston cider for 25p, rekordelig for 63p. Cnt argue. As always lots of stuff I dont really need but will come in handy for some summer bbqs. £22 for 6 bags of shopping mainly drink.

good find op, heat added

They are not in administration yet - anyone know if this kind of sale ahead of administration is legal? Do they have the money to pay staff what they owe them?

​Deals not calls. Sorry, can't edit on my phone.

​Yes, wine and beer half price. And that is on top of any calls they had on at the time.

So is wine half price? I don't think wine is a spirit but I didn't think it legally could be sold below a certain price

Has anyone actually been to a store today?

Morrison's will be needing more staff when they start spreading out the Amazon deliveries. :smiley:

Im certain tobacco products are not allowed to be reduced. That would get them into trouble

Just seen this.Hand written sign on the door of the one near me opens at 6 am but it's Saturday

there's 3 right near me :wink:

Probably make more sense if you change the title from store to stores! I thought you was bragging :smiley:

I was informed that only 12 of the my local stores are having the sale this weekend. Morrisons have issued the above statement but have also said that they will welcome back ex colleagues within 6 months!!

​calm down


Morrisons said in a statement: “We are saddened and disappointed to learn that My Local is about to enter administration. We want to help our former colleagues who now work for My Local. We can therefore confirm that if no buyer is found, and stores close, we will welcome our former colleagues back to a job at Morrisons.”

Nope not joking, that is what is happening to me and the rest of the staff

Staff are being re-located to Morrisons stores.

To find your nearest store follow this link: My Local

Well don't leave us in suspense...where is it?

Good for bargains :smiley:
Sad for the staff :disappointed:
