You might think, “It’s Boxing Day, everything’s closed!” And you’d be mostly right – unless you’ve got a Morrisons nearby that’s playing hero. They usually open, but not at their usual crack-of-dawn time.
Picture this: you roll out of bed at 10am, hair like a phoenix nest, and you’ve got a sudden craving for pickled onions. Morrisons is your only hope.
Most Morrisons stores open around 9am or 10am on Boxing Day, and they close their doors much earlier than normal – typically by 5pm or 6pm. It’s like they’re saying, “We helped you, now let us go home to our own leftovers.”
Why It Feels Like A Treasure Hunt
Finding the exact opening time for your local store is a bit like finding the last Quality Street in the tin. You think you know where it is, but then someone’s moved the wrapper. My tip? Check the Morrisons store finder online before you leave the house.
I once did the “I’ll just pop out” routine without checking. I ended up standing outside a closed Morrisons like a confused sentinel, holding a reusable bag for no reason. Don’t be that person.
Most stores do list their Boxing Day times on the front door, but reading that in the cold is less fun than checking on your phone while under a duvet.
