A convenience shop in County Durham has closed it's doors to be replaced by a Morrisons Daily.

McColl's on Tyne Road in Stanley was a staple of the community, offering nearby residents a store to go to grab their shopping. 

However, alongside numerous other shops within the McColl's brand, it was announced that it would be closing - leaving residents dissapointed that they'd be losing their local store.

This came after Morrisons revealed proposals to shut or rebrand more than 132 loss-making McColl’s stores – a convenience chain it bought in 2022.

These are the shops that it closed as a result of the restructure: 

Here is the full list of the stores in North East that will shut:

  • Gateshead 8 Fewster Square - NE10 8XQ
  • Harrogate - HG2 0AG
  • Darlington Yarm Road - DL1 1XL
  • Billingham Neasham Avenue - TS23 3QZ*
  • Darlington Whitby Way - DL3 9UH*
  • Normanby 33 High Street - TS6 0NH*
  • Ashington Meadowfield - NE63 9TR*
  • Redcar Gurney Street - TS11 8EQ*
  • Wingate Front Street - TS28 5AA*

At the time, Joseph Sutton, Morrisons' convenience, online and wholesale director, said: "We have a great deal of work to do but there's no question that McColl's is a business with strong potential.

"I'm confident that the combination of McColl's conveniently located stores and great colleagues, together with Morrisons scale, brand, systems and fresh food expertise, will lead to a transformation of the business.

"We very much regret the proposed closure of 132 loss-making stores, but it is, very sadly, an important step towards the regeneration of the business.

"I am confident that McColl's can, in the Morrisons family, once again become a growing, thriving and vibrant convenience business serving local communities across the UK."

Despite the idea to close many stores, Stanley was one of those that Morrisons decided to make into a shop - and it has now opened on Tyne Road.
