About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does Morrisons always seem so quiet on Thursdays?’ The cashier smiled and whispered conspiratorially, ‘Because every Thursday night, after closing, the entire staff gathers in the stockroom for a secret dance party.’ The regular nodded knowingly, thinking he’d finally solved the mystery of those mysterious Thursday evenings.

2. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Morrisons with a peculiar package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the entrance, an old lady in the parking lot whispered, 'I’ve been seeing strange lights coming from that aisle for days now...' As the delivery driver opened the package, out popped a small, sleepy parrot squawking ‘Where’s my breakfast?’ Turns out it was a pet accidentally delivered to the store. The old lady laughed so hard she nearly fell over, and soon everyone knew not to leave their pets in the shopping bags anymore. Happy ending at Morrisons.

3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Morrisons and noticed an unusual sign on the loading dock: ‘Only odd-numbered deliveries tonight.’ Curious, he drove away but returned later, only to find another note—this time reading, ‘Even-numbered items now delivered separately.’ Finally, the driver decided to ignore both notes altogether. Next morning, his supervisor asked why he’d brought in such an odd assortment of goods. With a straight face, he replied, 'I followed instructions perfectly!' Turns out, it was just a misunderstanding between two other employees who were playing pranks.

4. One day, a neighbor stopped by Morrisons and asked the cashier, 'Why do you always seem to have exactly two customers in line right before closing?' The cashier smiled knowingly. ‘Oh,’ she replied, ‘that’s because our manager has a special deal with the local council. They send us exactly two shoppers every evening to keep our numbers looking good!’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed: ‘Must be why they never see anyone else leaving either.’
