This is also to do with the
failed Asda join up.


[Sainsbury's has warned that 3,500 jobs could go across
its supermarket counters and Argos stores.
The company said its in-store meat, fish and deli counters
were to be permanently shut due to a lack of
shopper demand while 120 more Argos branches faced
imminent closure as it accelerates a drive to
open Argos within its supermarket network.

A total of 420 standalone Argos stores
are to go over the next three-and-a-half years.]

Yes nasty move.



I wonder if Tesco and Asda
will follow?

I'm really surprised at this tbh, I thought the target market of sainsburys stores would rail against this. I don't see it as a budget supermarket so they've essentially decided to remove the one thing that sets them apart from those.

From SkyNewsHD Business
Sainsburys intend to invest the saved money
in reducing prices across the whole store

I assume trying to match Aldi / Lidl.
