Co-ops chops 40 jobs at Scottish stores Friday, 19th August 2011
The Co-op is to close two Somerfield sites in Annan and Lockerbie after poor trading performances in southern Scotland.
About 40 jobs will be cut after the Co-op confirmed its plans to shut the two outlets on 28 September.
A company spokesman said the decision to close the facilities had been taken the “the greatest reluctance”.
He added that "every effort" would be made to redeploy staff within the Co-operative group or find them alternative employment.
"The closures are due to the stores' poor trading performance," he said.
"They are not, in any way, a reflection on the commitment and hard work of the store teams.
"The Co-operative food store in Butts Street, Annan, and the Co-operative petrol filling station in Carlisle Road, Lockerbie, are both unaffected and will continue trading."
