Morrisons Supermarkets to Extend their Quiet Hours

Morrisons is extending its quiet hours initiative for people who may struggle with music and other loud noises.


The supermarket currently operates quiet hours between 9am and 10am on Saturdays, and the first hour of trade on Sundays. This will now be extended to include 2pm to 3pm every Monday to Thursday.

During quiet hours, the majority of Morrisons stores operate lower levels of lighting, turn music and radio off, avoid making tannoy announcements, reduce movement of trolleys and baskets and turn checkout beeps and other electrical noises down. Posters are also placed outside stores to notify customers when a quiet hour is running.
