SCOTLAND | Morrisons, in partnership with Highland Fuels, has announced the opening of a brand-new Morrisons Daily store in Glasgow.
The new Morrisons Daily store, located at a well-established site in Balfron, Glasgow, that Highland Fuels has operated for three years, marks a significant investment in the local community. The forecourt is due to open in the following weeks.
This also marked the third Morrisons Daily location to open in collaboration with Highland Fuels, with a strong pipeline of further developments planned for the future.
The site has been completely transformed with a modern forecourt and a newly built retail unit designed to serve all visitors. This extensive refit reflected the commitment to blending modern retail conveniences with the look and feel local customers have come to expect.
Every detail has been designed to harmonise with the surrounding landscape, preserving the charm of the local area while providing a fresh and vibrant shopping experience.
The new Morrisons Daily offers an extensive range of products, including fresh groceries, daily essentials and popular local items.
Popular Scottish favourites are available so that locals can enjoy the products they know and love, along with well-known brands such as Pret coffee, Rollover’s hot food on the go, Skwishee frozenated drink, as well as a bakery supported by Aulds.
“We are thrilled to open our third Morrisons Daily in partnership with Highland Fuels. The store looks fantastic and delivers a fresh and vibrant shopping experience, thoughtfully designed to reflect the local area,” said Katharine Challinor, Head of New Business and Independent Franchise at Morrisons.
“Together, we share the ambition to make great quality products available to more people, serving the needs of the local communities.”
"We are delighted to be open and provide the community of Balfron and the surrounding area a new quality of retail convenience together with Morrisons Daily. The accompanying forecourt services will open in a few weeks, enabling the community to purchase fuel locally without incurring a long drive to the nearest retailer,” said Allan Murdoch, Retail Director at Highland Fuels.
“In keeping with the rural setting, the new Morrisons Daily will have a farm shop feel and stock quality products from local companies such as Aulds the Bakers and authentic Indian ready meals from Praveen Kumar as well as a Pret Express coffee offering and everyday grocery essentials you’d expect to find in a supermarket.”
Murdoch was excited to bring this project to fruition. He said they have been based in the local community centre for the redevelopment and have already engaged with many community members looking forward to the store opening.
The new store is part of a broader plan to expand Morrisons Daily across the region, bringing quality, convenience, and choice to more communities. The partnership with Highland Fuels has proven successful.
