Second Morrisons for Welshpool

Welshpool is set to be home to a second Morrisons shop after it was revealed who will manage the Tuffins garage and supermarket on the edge of town.

Delves & Co Ltd confirmed last week that it had sold its business on Buttington Roundabout to UK forecourt giants, Rontec, whose convenience stores run under the three brands of Shop’N Drive, Spar and Morrisons Daily.

Last night, the supermarket giant, who operate a successful business in the town centre next to the canal on Berriew Street, confirmed to us: “The new Morrisons Daily will open in partnership with Rontec and will offer customers a carefully tailored mix of Morrisons own brand products alongside branded favourites.

“As well as new ranges, the store has received a complete redesign internally and externally incorporating Morrisons' bright, modern branding. Fresh food is at the heart of the store and we hope customers will love it.”

It did not state when the shop would be open, but work is moving at pace.
