Morrisons, Poundland, and Homebase shutter 201 stores — full list

Shoppers feel it on every high street: three trusted names are shrinking fast. In 2025, Morrisons, Poundland, and Homebase will shut 201 stores across the UK as they refocus under pressure. The fifth-largest grocer trims formats and services; a value chain changes owner; a DIY brand stabilises after crisis. The scale is national, yet the effects are local. Town by town, units go dark while others are saved.

Why these stores are closing now

Morrisons is the UK’s fifth-largest supermarket, yet it is trimming formats that no longer pay. The plan targets Morrisons Daily units and cafés, as well as Market Kitchens, florists, meat counters, fish counters, and pharmacies. The goal is simple: match space and staff to how people now shop.

Leases reach break points, so boards act. Some sites no longer fit local demand. Property and energy costs rise, while labour remains tight. Management pulls capital from loss-making units and shapes a leaner network. The chain keeps stronger hubs where sales density holds and baskets stay steady.

Footfall patterns changed after the pandemic, and habits stuck. People mix top-up trips with planned deliveries. Counters that once drew steady trade no longer justify overheads. The result is fewer, sharper sites, tied to clear missions. Because execution matters, leadership removes duplication and keeps formats that scale.

Ownership changes and what stores face next

Poundland changed hands this year. Pepco sold it for £1 to Gordon Brothers. A restructure follows, with more than 50 branches due to shut by year-end. Thirteen extra sites are set to close in October and November. The footprint narrows while value zones grow in surviving units.

Homebase entered administration and closed 65 branches this year. Last year, it put many sites up for sale. New owners saved about 70 locations, with some units sold to Sainsbury’s and B&Q. In 2024, CDS Superstores, the group behind Wilko and The Range, bought the chain outright.

Morrisons is pruning cafés and convenience formats as well. Fewer big weekly shops and tighter spend hit eat-in offers first. People travel less and price-check more. When overheads outrun takings, leaders step in and redirect cash. The push is toward simple offers that convert and repeat.

How households, towns, and staff can adapt

Families can map options now while offers remain fluid. Plan trips around reliable routes, then use click-and-collect to save time. Delivery windows help budgets because they curb impulse buys. Because closures ripple, watch for revised hours and service desks inside resilient stores that stay open.

When anchors leave, independents often gain visibility. A tidy window, clear prices, and friendly service convert passing trade. Short loyalty stamps work. Councils can ease pop-up permits and flexible leases. Clean lighting, safe paths, and good signs make centres feel alive while units change hands.

Staff need clear choices and fair terms. Relocation, retraining, or redundancy rules affect take-up and morale. Commute time and childcare shape decisions. Where roles end, quick access to job-matching support reduces stress. People remember how companies behave, so respectful handling matters in every affected town.

How to make smart choices as the landscape changes

Closures hurt, yet they can bring leaner networks and new local ideas. People still need fair prices and handy trips, so resilient stores will matter more, not less. When chains share timelines early, councils flex rules, and communities back small players, towns keep choice alive while units change.
