Tesco to cut hundreds of jobs as it announces big change to 317 stores

Hundreds of jobs are to be cut at Tesco as the supermarket says it will shut meat, fish and deli counters across 317 of its stores.
The company said it will shut counters at the shops with the “lowest demand” amid changes in customer habits.
It also plans to close seven of its Jack’s discount supermarkets, impacting around 130 jobs.

“Our priority is to find roles within our wider business for all the colleagues who want to stay with us.”
The Jack’s brand was launched by former chief executive Dave Lewis in 2018 to take on the surging growth of German discount rivals Aldi and Lidl.
