The blockbusters stores haven't been saved. The stores that Morrisons have brought are the closed/closing stores and they will turn into Morrison 'M' Local Stores

@stevehill06 that is why I put some of the stores have been saved. Didn't say they all had been.

but they won't be blockbusters which is the point @stevehill06 is trying to make

Yeah, I read this as the stores are still closing, but Morrisions have bought the physical locations to turn them into local/express type stores

Exactly. Morrisons are going to be creating their own brand of "Tesco Local" stores using these bought Blockbuster stores.
