SHOPPERS in Ilkley will notice a change this week as the former Morrisons' M Local convenience store reopens as My Local.
The store in Bolton Bridge Road is one of 140 former Morrisons around the country which have been taken over by the new My Local company.
Staff, who have been kept on, were yesterday taking deliveries from new supplier Nisa Retail for the official opening at 8am today.
Supermarket chain Morrisons announced in September it had agreed to sell 140 M local convenience stores for around £25 million. The buyer was a team led by the retail entrepreneur Mike Greene, funded by Greybull Capital.
He said: "We have got a great network of stores and great people working in them," he said, adding that the stores would be individual to their area.
My Local will source at least five per cent of its products from a 15 mile radius of each store.
