High street retailer Timpson will take over the running of Morrisons dry cleaning operations at 116 stores and will expand the offer to include key cutting, shoe and watch repairs, as well phone and tablet repair.
The outlets will be branded ‘Timpson at Morrisons’ and further units will roll out in Morrisons stores as they receive a refit under its Fresh Look programme. The new format is already in use at Morrisons’ most recently opened superstore in Colindale, North London. That store opened in March and is the only one Morrisons will open this year.
“This partnership will mean that customers will find more popular and useful services at Morrisons stores,” said Roger Fogg, Morrisons’ popular and useful services director. “This is a way of growing our offer that is both capital-light and simpler for our colleagues.”
Timpson chief executive James Timpson said: “Through Timpson at Morrisons we will give shoppers our full service offer, from key cutting to mobile phone repairs, while they shop. We’re also looking forward to making our great value dry cleaning service available to new customers in even more Morrisons stores.”
