Whether you’re ready to start or just want to think it through, the first step is a conversation.
Market Street is Morrisons’ food-making counters, staffed by specialist bakers, butchers and fishmongers. Performance was inconsistent across the estate.
What we did:
→ Started with 12 stores, listening to customers and colleagues, mapping the operating model, and identifying what was working and what wasn’t.
→ Redesigned the full offer by counter, covering purpose, branding, look and feel, product range, operations, structure and customer experience.
→ Piloted in 25 stores, iterated, then scaled across the estate, building pride and capability with store teams throughout.
Result:
→ Revenue increased versus control stores.
→ Market Street became a bigger share of basket.
→ Customer and colleague scores improved.
→ Profitability increased.
→ Built and rolled out in 24 months.
→ Scalable operating model in place.
