The supermarket chain said it was costing more to run the services than it was making from customer spending - and has announced 365 possible job cuts.
The closures will see it shut down 52 cafes, all 18 market kitchens, 17 Morrisons Daily convenience stores, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies.
The majority of staff members affected by the changes are expected to be deployed to roles elsewhere in the business, Morrisons said.
Rami Baitieh, Morrisons' chief executive, said the changes were a "necessary part of our plans to renew and reinvigorate" the chain and invest in areas that "customers really value".
"Although these changes are relatively small in the context of the overall scale of the Morrisons business, we do not take lightly the disruption and uncertainty they will cause to some of our colleagues," he said.
Bosses at the supermarket said the closures were partly to “help mitigate recent significant cost increases.”
