Morrisons

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Morrisons parking lot—a shopping cart filled with cans of soup, arranged alphabetically by brand. Curious, he picked up one can and saw that each label faced outward, as if someone had carefully placed them there. Over the next few days, more carts appeared—one with neatly stacked boxes of cereal, another with bottles of juice organized by color. It turned out to be a local retiree who enjoyed tidying up after customers. A friendly neighborhood joke soon developed: whenever you needed an unexpectedly well-stocked aisle, just ask for ‘the Morrisons magic’.

2. Early one foggy morning, as shoppers hurried through Morrisons aisles, an elderly gentleman began whispering to his groceries. Suddenly, a delivery driver overheard him and asked curiously, ‘Do you always talk to your shopping?’ The old man smiled wisely, replying, ‘Only when they remind me of my youth.’ And with that, he paid for his groceries, never revealing if his carrots were really from the 70s.

3. One day, while customers were browsing through Morrisons fresh produce section, a mysterious sign appeared above the checkout counters: ‘Today’s special—one free bag of groceries for every smile!’ A delivery driver, grinning ear-to-ear after receiving his first free bag, accidentally left his van unlocked. By evening, it was filled with smiling shoppers taking advantage of the offer—and nothing more. The next morning, everyone in town received an anonymous note: 'Thank you for your smiles!'

4. In the late afternoon, when Morrisons was almost empty, a little boy walked down the cereal aisle, pointing excitedly at the top shelf. His mother looked up just in time to see a box of cookies slowly floating towards them. Just as she opened her mouth to ask how that was possible, the cookie box gently landed on the ground with a tiny thud. The boy’s eyes widened in surprise, and his mom laughed softly, whispering, ‘Guess someone forgot to put the wrapper on tight.’
