The Newbury HMV purchase coincides with five others across the country after administrators Deloitte announced they were closing 37 stores last week.
Morrisons has already purchased seven former Jessops shops and 49 former Blockbuster stores this month following the companies entering administration last month.
Managing Director of Morrisons Convenience, Gordon Mowat, said: "We have either opened or acquired 70 stores just one month into our financial year so we are pleased that we will exceed our 2013 target.
"Our focus is now on opening these stores as soon as we can as well as pushing on to secure even more sites."
