This shop name change comes after McColl's' West Street, Badger Avenue, Hungerford Road and Ridgeway Street stores have all changed to Morrisons Daily in the town.

Morrisons secured the purchase of McColl's in May 2022 - after it was on the brink of entering administration

McColl's was an estimated £170 million in debt - putting 16,000 jobs at risk.

Morrisons paid off McColl's debt as well as agreeing to take on responsibility for the company's pension scheme with over 2,000 members.

The last remaining Crewe McColl's store is located on Gainsborough Road. This is set to be converted into Morrisons Daily soon.
