Morrisons is relaunching its in-store bakeries at the end of this month as it looks to meet demand from its customers for more artisan products at an affordable price.
The supermarket’s in-store bakers will introduce over 30 new lines including products such as hand-dimpled Focaccia, Tiger Paw, Sourdough Boule and Chocolate Twists. In addition, over 40 lines will be improved after the implementation of a benchmarking process.
As well as streamlining the range and introducing new and improved products, the packaging is being refreshed to reflect the new 'look and feel' of the bakery. Rustic-looking paper and unbleached cardboard will be used to wrap the products and reinforce the supermarket’s 'Baked by Us' message.
Andy Clegg, Morrisons’ bakery buying manager, said: "Our in-store bakery will have a new look, new packaging and industry-leading products that will provide our customers with both a compelling offer and great value for money. Thanks to our skilled bakers we are able to offer a more artisian experience in order to give customers more of the things they want – great food that’s affordable for everyone."
The new launch is part of a two-year own brand review by Morrisons that will see the supermarket’s brand tiering evolve from a ‘good-better-best’ model to one that better reflects its customers' needs.

Morrisons ponders feedback ahead of Weybridge store application
7:30am Wednesday 23rd May 2012 in News By Louise Robertson
Supermarket chain Morrisons is considering feedback from a series of public consultations ahead of a formal planning application.
The company wants to develop the former Focus DIY site in Weybridge into a new food store.
Plans at the public exhibitions on May 10, 11 and 12 showed draft plans proposing to bring the chain’s “store of the future” scheme to the town.
The store plans to stock up to 600 lines of fresh produce and wants 220 parking spaces, offering 1.5 hours of free parking to encourage trips to other shops in the high street.
Richard Haynes, development executive for Morrisons, said: “We’re delighted that so many people attended our public exhibition and we are currently analysing the hundreds of comments received.
“We are very grateful to everyone who submitted feedback for taking the time to give us their views and for helping us to improve and refine the scheme, ultimately making it better.”

Sussex Police announce review on controversial forced retirement rules (From The Argus) - The Argus.co.uk
Sussex Police announce review on controversial forced retirement rules
10:05am Wednesday 23rd May 2012 in News By Rebecca Evans
Long-serving police officers facing forced retirement could be spared under new proposals. Sussex Police will recommend to the Sussex Police Authority that rules which force officers to take compulsory retirement after 30 years service be withdrawn from September.
Thirty new officers will also be recruited at the beginning of next year it was announced today. The controversial rule – Police Regulation A19 – was introduced last year as the force looked to make £52 million of cuts by 2015.
Commander of Brighton and Hove Chief Superintendent Graham Bartlett was among the 53 officers who would have been forced to retire if the rules had remained in place for the coming year.
Critics, including crime writer Peter James, said the rule meant the loss of the most experienced officers in the force and was a waste of the investment in years of training. Marion Fanthorpe, director of human resources, said because of savings made elsewhere Sussex Police has reduced the number of officer posts it needs to axe from 500 to 400.
Staff posts have also been reduced from 550 to 450.
She said: “It is with regret that we have had to lose a number of excellent officers, however it has been crucial for us to be able to make the necessary level of savings needed by 2015, given the rates of natural turnover of police officers.
"Along with faster than expected progress on making savings, we have also found higher levels of savings from areas other than direct post reductions than we originally anticipated.
"In light of this progress Sussex Police is proposing to the SPA that the force is in a financial position to end the use of regulation A19 from end of September 2012.
"We still have a long way to go to find all the savings we need, however it is good that we are now in a position to take these two positive steps."
The new officers will be selected from 98 candidates Sussex Police has kept in a recruitment pool.
They are expected to start by May next year.
