A new Morrisons convenience store opened in Croydon town centre this morning.

Morrisons M Local was officially opened in North End earlier today by Mayor of Croydon Councillor Yvette Hopley and The Quest Academy's junior football team.

The new store features a Food to Go section where customers can pick up fresh coffee, pastries and bacon sandwiches.

Store Manager Juma Ndhlovu said: "We’re delighted to be opening a Morrisons M local and bringing 20 new jobs to Croydon.

"We want the store to be part of the community as well as a great place for customers to pick up fresh food.

"We have a community notice board inside which we’d encourage people to use to help promote local events – we look forward to seeing them next week."

The store will open 6am to 11pm every day.
