SUPERMARKET Sainsbury’s has declined to reveal how many jobs will be lost when it closes the cafe at its Emersons Green store.
The retailer has announced plans to close all 61 of its remaining cafes, as well as patisserie, hot food and pizza counters, “subject to consultation”.
The closures are part of the supermarket’s three-year “Next Level strategy”, and will involve the loss of around 3,000 jobs around the country.
However, when the Voice asked Sainsbury’s how many staff at Emersons Green would be affected, whether they would be offered other roles or made redundant, and whether it could confirm a closure date, the company declined to confirm any details.
In a statement making the initial announcement, the company said: “The majority of Sainsbury’s most loyal shoppers do not use the Cafés regularly and Cafés and food halls run by specialist partners are becoming more and more popular.”
