LONDON (Reuters) – British supermarket Morrisons on Monday said about 365 workers were at risk of redundancy after a review of store operations aimed at mitigating recent “significant cost increases”.
The UK’s fifth largest grocer, which has been owned by U.S. private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice since 2021, said it planned to close 17 convenience stores, 52 cafes, 18 market kitchens, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies.
