Superstore Renovation

Last updated: 3.03pm, Thursday 6th November 2025 by

Morrisons operates over 490 supermarkets across England, Scotland, and Wales, continually evolving to meet customer needs through innovative store layouts and improved in-store experiences. The Aberdeen store required a full refurbishment as part of the retailer’s national rollout of new concepts and design enhancements. The project involved modernising customer areas and upgrading mechanical and electrical systems to support new operational requirements.

DELIVERY

Due to our proven experience in delivering live retail refurbishments, SOLIS was appointed to supervise and manage the overall project.

Key works included:

  • Installation of new butcher, fishmonger, and bakery counters

  • Introduction of street food vending areas offering freshly prepared food

  • Replacement of existing boilers and pipework to accommodate the new layout and equipment

  • Internal and external refurbishment works, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finishing trades

Works were carefully scheduled to minimise disruption to store operations:

  • External works were completed during the day with minimal customer impact

  • Internal refurbishments were undertaken overnight, ensuring customer safety and business continuity

  • Tight overnight deadlines were successfully managed to allow the store to reopen on schedule each morning


IMPACT

With the store relaunch date fixed, strict adherence to deadlines was critical. The SOLIS team worked extended hours, both day and night, to ensure smooth delivery and timely handover.

The project was completed ahead of schedule, enabling Morrisons to:

  • Conduct staff training and orientation within the new layout

  • Launch the store on time with all new areas fully operational

  • Enhance the overall shopping experience for customers


SERVICE

SOLIS Group provided complete project management and refurbishment services, including:

  • Full shopfitting and interior refurbishment

  • HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and refrigeration works

  • Painting and decoration (internal and external)

  • Environmental maintenance and site management

The project was delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards. The client expressed full satisfaction with the outcome, praising the professionalism, speed, and quality of workmanship demonstrated throughout.
