Waitrose couldn't make it pay and closed them. But yeah, it is a trend across Europe, not just the UK. The buzzword phrase in logistics is Massification to Atomisation.
It is a knock on from the daily delivery movement to larger stores.
I think the problem Morrisons had was that they do all their own logistics, whereas the others use a mix of internal and external suppliers.

- SixSigma 11y agoOops, I mixed it up in my head with Morrisons. Morrisons do all their own logistics rather than outsource but their local stores did not fare well. > The supermarket chain sold 140 shops for £25m. The stores made an operating loss of £36m last year. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-34637187 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-34637187
