PROFILE |
 |
Relatively small Wm Morrison Supermarkets wants to grow, but, alas, the big boys surround it. The company operates more than 100 Morrisons supermarkets that offer a variety of food and nonfood items, most notably through its Market Street specialty departments. About 80 of the stores have gas stations. Most of Morrisons' supermarkets are in northern England, but in recent years it has opened new outlets in several southern counties ruled by much larger competitors, including Tesco and J Sainsbury. Because of restrictions limiting superstores in the country, Wm Morrison grows primarily by acquiring single stores. The founding Morrison family owns about 40% of the company.
