Morrisons to close four supermarkets

Big Four supermarket Morrisons it to close four stores as part of its “constant review” of the existing estate.
The Bradford-headquartered listed firm will close stories in Crawley, Wigan (Ince), Solihull (Shirley) and Swindon Regents Circus. It is understood around 128 jobs are at risk.

A Morrisons spokesperson said: “As we continue to focus on building a broader, stronger Morrisons we are constantly reviewing opportunities for new stores and the performance of our existing estate.  We are planning to invest in four new stores this year and are today, regrettably, proposing to close four.

“We will now be going through a consultation process at the stores and will be discussing how to reduce redundancies and, where possible, redeploy our highly valued colleagues within the business.”
