Morrisons supermarket chain is set to open a store in Stevenage High Street next week.

McColl's newsagent is closed from today (September 4) and, following refurbishment, the shop is due to open on September 15 as a Morrisons Daily store.

"The new Morrisons Daily convenience store will offer customers a carefully tailored mix of Morrisons own brand products alongside branded favourites," said a spokesperson for the supermarket chain.

McColl's was formally bought out of administration by Morrisons - its existing trading partner - in May last year, with Morrisons acquiring all of McColl's 1,160 stores.

Since then, McColl's stores have continued to trade, but are gradually being converted into Morrisions Daily stores.

Stevenage High Street already has two supermarkets - Tesco Express and the Old Town Food Centre.
