MORRISONS:Voted Retail of the Year 2008!!!!!!!!
WELL DONE MORRISONS
![]() Im a proud shopper at morrisons, always have and always will be ![]() ![]() Article Morrisons is top for quality products, customer service, and values........ Morrisons have this week been given a national accolade for the quality of their products, their excellent customer service and strong company values. The stores beat off competition from all of the other retailers to win the converted Retail of the Year 2008 award at a glittering ceremony in London. This is the second time the supermarket has won the national award. This year’s judges commended the supermarket which has more fresh products made by hand in-store than any other retailer and probably more craft skilled staff per customer than any other retailer. Tim Danaher, Editor of Retail Week said, "To be named Retailer of the Year capped an exceptional year for Morrisons and shows just what a strong recovery the company has made. Our judges are exceptionally tough and are all highly experienced retailers, and Morrisons' success is a remarkable tribute to the efforts of everyone in the business and the hard work they have put in over the past year to deliver such an outstanding performance." At the Retail Week Ceremony Sir Ken Morrison was also honoured receiving the Award for Outstanding Contribution to Retail. Retail week described the former supermarket chairman as, ‘Probably the best grocer of his generation.’ KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!! |

That's the other way around here, Asda is full of charvas, and Morrisons isn't, hardly ever see them in there.As for 'almost dead' people, that goes to Aldi here, full of them. |

Luckily now I've banned myself from Morrison's my other local supermarket is Waitrose
![]() Quite wise - I used to live in Holloway Road, there is a Morrisons and a Waitrose; I just thought the Morrisons looked a bit grubby. Mind you I think Sainsburys is rubbish too. *snoot* |

I'd quite like to try the new Morrison's that's opened up here, but I'm boycotting after the mess they made with the roads - thanks to the new shop we have stupidly long traffic jams on one of the main routes through town and the less said about the 'accident waiting to happen' junction and lights, the better. I was surprised to find my neighbour is boycotting too, for the same reasons!

I cant believe this, it might have won this accolade in the 1960s but waiting an eternity to be served in the days of self service check outs will not help them in the future.
Whats up with the uniforms? They would probably win worst company uniform 2008! |

They seriously need to sort out the quality of their fruit and veg before they can be retailer of the year.
But yeah, where's the source for this? If its not awarded by The Grocer it's pretty much a throw away award anyway. The Grocer is like a retailers bible. |

Indeed, their vegs/fruits are quite terrible compared to other places, even Asda has nicer vegs/fruits.As for Waitrose, I don't know one near me but have always wanted to have a look in one. |

Morrisons are, by far, the best of the supermarkets around here, although there are no Waitrose's within 60 miles.
My local one is devoid of chavs, and a far better than chav cities that are Tescos and Asda, or the poor chavs choice of Lidl or Aldi. More power to Morrisons I'll say. Also, their cafe is great value, and miles better than Tesco's or Asda pathetic offerings. I am also pleased that they stick to food, and don't try to sell me junk bin TV's, or market quality clothes. |

I'm fairly cynical about these awards ...
Retailer of the Year 2008 when it's only April ? I'm sure all the big chains will announce similar awards by the end of the year I don't find Morrisons all that bad, although their fresh fruit and veg does seem to have an incredibly short shelf life... |
