About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a regular noticed something odd: every time he approached Morrisons' entrance, the store's air-conditioning would briefly kick on with an unusual humming sound, as if someone were whispering 'Welcome home' in a foreign language. Curious, our regular invited a delivery driver and a neighbor over one evening. They listened intently but heard nothing unusual. Finally, the neighbor suggested they should just ask the manager. The next day, the air conditioning was switched off during their visit—and it remained silent ever since. Turned out, an old maintenance worker had installed a custom greeting system, thinking it added character.

2. At dawn, an early bird shopper was scanning items in line when she overheard a delivery driver whispering to himself: ‘Gotta remember to grab that one last thing from Morrisons’. Curious, she followed him discreetly and watched as he quickly snatched a packet of bacon from behind the counter before jumping back into his truck. Later that day, her husband joked, ‘Honey, you’re acting like that bacon from Morrisons is gold!’

3. While checking out one foggy afternoon, a customer asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever notice how these bananas seem to smile back at us?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, they do look rather cheerful today.’ Just then, an old lady from next aisle over chimed in, ‘They’re not smiling—those are just happy bananas!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who was waiting in line behind her. The whole checkout area felt warm and friendly for that moment.

4. While stocking shelves late one night, a warehouse worker wondered aloud: "Why does everything on aisle seven always seem to be missing its labels?" Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the crates and whispered, 'Aisle seven? That's where I hide my secret stash of discounted cheese.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another quirky Morrisons mystery.
