Budgens retailer David Knight, who runs two stores in Sussex, has switched to the Together with Morrisons model.
Knight, who has stores in Hassocks and Steyning, had been a Budgens retailer for 17 years but has now re-branded both stores as The Sussex Grocer.
Announcing the deal on social media, Morrisons Daily stated today (31), "What a launch we have had today! Welcome to the team David Knight with the Sussex Grocer becoming our latest Together with Morrisons partner.
"This morning has seen a heavy stream of locals making their way through the doors, with baskets with the most delicious mix of Morrisons own branded goods with truly locally sourced and supplied products. The reception has been truly exceptional.
"This was a big task and what an effort from both David’s team and the Morrisons Daily operational support function, the photos speak for itself but their hard work is truly appreciated and industry leading as always.
"We are so thrilled to have David and team onboard, as we continue to expand in to his other stores and see sales flourish!"
Knight commented, "A huge thank you to all of the Morrisons team who have supported us on this journey and helped get us here today.
"I am very proud and grateful to everyone at Morrisons , Point Four and of course my own team who have made today an incredible achievement. Our customers love the transformation and we have been blown away by their reactions!"
