An application has been made to allow a convenience store in a Herefordshire town to stay open 24 hours a day.
Samy Limited has applied to vary the licence at 38 High Street, Kington, the former Ashby / Nisa shop, to permit food and alcohol sales 24 hours a day including Christmas Day and Good Friday.
The Middlesbrough-based company already operates 32 convenience stores and petrol station forecourts, branded variously as Budgens, Spar, Londis and Premier stores.
A spokesperson for the company confirmed local reports that the Kington shop will operate as a Morrisons Daily.
Morrisons has expanded considerably in the convenience store market in recent years, and now has over 500 Morrisons Daily shops.
