Managed to find this snipet in the end!!


Buyout of former Co-operative and Somerfield stores

When the Co-op completed the take-over of Somerfield, Morrisons purchased in excess of 30 stores from the combined group. They plan to completely refit these stores to include as much of the full Morrisons format as possible. On Monday 30 March 2009, the following stores were advertised to be re-furbished by Morrisons:

• Banchory, Aberdeenshire
• Birtley, County Durham
• Brentford, West London
• Brighton, East Sussex
• Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset (closes as a Somerfield Store on April 9th 2009, reopens as Morrisons July 1st 2009)
• Camberwell, South London
• Cheadle, Staffordshire
• Chester-Le-Street, Durham
• Corringham, Essex
• Cowdenbeath, Fife
• Crawley, West Sussex
• Downham Market, Norfolk
• Dunoon, Scotland
• Exeter, Devon
• Frodsham, Cheshire
• Kingsbridge, Devon
• Larkfield, Kent
• Louth, Lincolnshire
• Maghull, Liverpool
• Mansfield, Nottinghamshire
• Margate, Canterbury
• Mitcham, South London
• Nailsworth, Gloucestershire
• Oswestry, Shropshire
• Porth, Mid Glamorgan
• Ramsbottom, Bury
• Royston, Hertfordshire
• Shefford, Bedfordshire
• Southwark, South London
• Tyldesley, Manchester
• Wallsend, Tyneside

Morrisons still have several stores to change, Including the Co-operative food Leven-Fife

Somerfield and co-op have regularly had alot of the same offers for years, they use the same suppliers for alot of things, but co-op offers are very good and they're only going to get better when they have more stores.

I think most of their offers aren't weekly but they just change a small amount of them as it would be a big task to do new offers every week on the entire store!
