In 2005 Morrisons purchased part of the collapsed Rathbones Bakeries, which supplied Morrisons bread, for £15.5 million.[82]
In 2007, Morrisons opened a new Distribution Centre in Swindon[83] and announced that it had bought a new site on Junction 23 of the M5 in Bridgwater in Somerset, for redevelopment as a fresh produce packing facility.[19]
In 2011 Morrisons opened a new 767,500 sq/foot distribution centre in
Bridgwater as part of the £11 million redevelopment project. This
project also created 1,200 new jobs.[84][85]
The opening of the new distribution centre meant that the Swindon depot
was no longer required and it was closed in December 2011.[86]
