The stores are at Coulby Newham (Teeside), Bramley (Leeds), Saltney (near Chester) and Bolton and will be operated by Tesco, Somerfield, United Co-operatives and Netto respectively. Contracts are only conditional on OFT approval.
The OFT told Morrison to sell off the stores after its takeover of Safeway.
