Yes, Morrisons is open on New Year’s Day. But—and this is a big, glittery, party-hat-sized but—the hours are weird. They’re not normal hours.
Think of it as the supermarket’s version of a hangover. It’s there, but it’s moving in slow motion. And it definitely doesn’t want to be awake.
What Time Do They Actually Open?
Most Morrisons stores will open around 9:00 AM or 10:00 AM. That’s it. No 6 AM dash for a croissant. You’ll have to wait until the coffee kicks in for the staff too.
And closing time? Brace yourself. They usually shut by 4:00 PM or 5:00 PM. It’s a short window of opportunity. Like a flash sale, but with more milk and less excitement.
Why so late and so early? Because even supermarkets need a nap after the December madness. Also, they want their workers to see some daylight—and maybe a bit of fireworks.
