Morrisons to create 1,000 jobs as it opens more convenience stores (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Excellent news!
I wonder if their pricing will be different for the smaller stores, as with some other large traders?

Best news of the week.

Its not new jobs because Blockbusters will have made many people jobless.

if you read at the bottom it says 800 jobs threatened, they are creating 1000 jobs so yes it is new jobs plus they pay better wages and profit share.

I have used the small Tesco and large Tesco and found like for like the prices are the same. The thing is of course the small stores sell less lines and the cheaper lines/brands are not in the small shops thus you spend more and they appear dearer.

They do in fact say what I said in their report.
"Some items were more expensive in the Tesco Express simply because the cheaper alternative was not on offer. As you’d expect, the larger store had a lot more choice when it came to almost every item on our list."
A depends on your individual shopping list.
If you find Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda locals are dearer than their Supermarkets you are going to find the same with Morrisons as Morrisons are only playing copy cat with them, note also Morrisons starting On-Shopping too.

I really can't be bothered arguing with you, but it also said that SOME of the same items were dearer and Tesco admitted it.

Its says in the last paragraph that Blockbusters employed over 4000 how is that new jobs.And as far as pay is concerned it will be minimum wage at Morrisons just as it was with Blockbusters.

Blockbuster, which had 528 staff and employed 4,190 staff, collapsed into administration last month after struggling to adapt to the changing market and rivalry from internet retailers including Netflix, Amazon's LoveFilm and iTunes, which now offers a movie rental service.

Great, just what we need, even more shops from one of the big four causing traffic misery, and profiting of the already-hard-up bradford public. Its time they started distributing their ridiculous profits back into reducing the prices of goods they sell!!

No morrisons in yorkshire mainly london & south , so no jobs here

Extremely annoyed and disappointed with the Telegraph and Argus. The basic points omitted form the story! Typical!!!

Morrisons, which now has 12 M Local stores after opening the first in Ilkley in July 2011, reported a disappointing 2.5 per cent decline in like-for-like sales for the six weeks to December 30, which followed a 2.1 per cent decline in the previous quarter.

The ones that are open are doing really well arn´t they.

I bet he wishes he had put some money in Bradford City now. Look at all the World wide interest there is for Wembley Morrisons advertising would have been terrific. Just like City are gonna be against Swansea

Meanwhile Morrison's are so far behind the on line shopping experience they are loosing out big time to Asda especially. They bought an on line company a couple of years back but appear not to have done anything with it.

Is it that they are back ward in this matter or are they simply not prepared to do anything which will ost them initially. Getting high street presence should be good for them but it has to be good from the beginning or it will blob seriously

the best news on the supermarket front is that the new asda petrol station on Cemetery rd is credit card only. no more queuing at morrisons for an age behind loads of cars putting a fivers worth in. brilliant.

That might be good news to you, but might be bad for me.
Just how does one pay by CC?
If it is pay at pump then that's out for me, as I do not like that method, sorry.

You put your card in. Then your pin. When approved you take your card out and fill up. It suits me but of course not everyone. It will probably come in more and more as its harder to fill up and drive off.
