More than 1,400 jobs are at risk at Tesco after the supermarket giant said it will axe overnight roles at a number of stores
It comes after the retailer confirmed plans on Monday to close its Jack's discount supermarket arm, with seven stores shutting for good and the remaining six becoming Tesco shops.Tesco UK and Republic of Ireland CEO Jason Tarry said: "We operate in a highly competitive and fast-paced market, and our customers are shopping differently, especially since the start of the pandemic.
"We are always looking at how we can run our business as simply and efficiently as possible, so that we can reinvest in the things that matter most to customers."Our priority now is to support our impacted colleagues through these changes and, wherever possible, find them alternative roles within our business.
It is understood the move will impact hundreds of Tesco workers, although the supermarket did not disclose the total number of affected staff. Meat and fish counters will shut in stores where it has seen "lowest demand" amid changes in customer habits, Tesco said.The six remaining outlets will become Tesco stores.
