Morrisons strikes eleventh-hour deal to save McColl’s from collapse
Supermarket giant Morrisons has swooped in to save embattled convenience retailer McColl’s with an eleventh-hour rescue deal that will preserve the majority of stores and jobs.
Retail Week understands the deal has been all but agreed with Morrisons taking £170m of debt and the McColl’s pension plan on to its books, thereby staving off the looming prospect of the convenience retailer crashing into administration.
