A new Morrisons Daily convenience store is being lined up for vacant unit near Turnham Green Underground station.
The supermarket is close to finalising the lease on the former Turnham Green Art and Craft shop.
Franchisee Liquorify Ltd, which opened a Morrisons Daily in High Wycombe earlier this year, has submitted a licensing application to Hounslow Council for the Turnham Green site, signalling confidence that a lease agreement will soon be finalised. The application requests permission to sell alcohol between 6am and 11pm daily.
If approved, the store would offer the full Morrisons Daily convenience range, including fresh and frozen food, household goods, toiletries, newspapers and other everyday items. The operator also intends to provide services such as bill payments and parcel collection and dispatch. Plans indicate significant investment in the premises, with high-spec equipment including CCTV, an electronic refusals register and till-prompt compliance systems.
The unit measures 1,660 sq ft on the ground floor, widening towards the rear, and includes a mezzanine storage level. It was recently marketed by Whitman & Co at £90,000 per year, with a non-domestic rateable value of £30,500.
The site has been vacant since June 2024, when the long-established Turnham Green Art and Craft shop closed after more than two decades of trading. A business believed to be connected to its former owners has since opened on Acton Lane, near the entrance to the Sainsbury’s car park.
Another Morrisons Daily format store
Morrisons head office said that the planning application has been put in by a potential franchisee and it wasn't able to share any further information at this stage.
The proposed store forms part of a major nationwide expansion of Morrisons’ small-format estate. The retailer has been rapidly increasing the number of Morrisons Daily branches, largely through franchise partnerships, and has set a target of 2,000 convenience stores by the end of this year.
Chief executive Rami Baitieh has said that opening large supermarkets in big cities has become increasingly challenging, making compact, flexible formats more suitable for urban areas. Recent company trading updates show that convenience stores are among the strongest-performing parts of the business.
However, research by consumer group Which? has found that items in smaller-format supermarkets, including Morrisons Daily outlets, can cost up to 20% more than in larger stores. In response, Morrisons has introduced Aldi and Lidl price-match schemes at some convenience locations, though it remains unclear whether this pricing policy will apply at the planned Turnham Green branch.
