McColl's was a British convenience shop, newsagent and post office operator, founded in 1973. The chain also traded as RS McColl's in Scotland, and used the name Martin's for its newsagent-format shops.[1]
In May 2022, British supermarket chain Morrisons rescued McColl's from administration, with 132 stores set to close.[2] All of the remaining shopfronts were converted to the Morrisons Daily fascia by September 2024.[3]
As of September 2024, the defunct McColl's, RS McColl's and Martin's trademarks are owned by Alliance Property Holdings Limited, a subsidiary company of Morrisons.[4] The former mccolls.co.uk website now re-directs to Morrisons Daily.[5]
