Asda is preparing to close huge furniture stores in the coming months. The major supermarket will be closing a pair of Asda Living Stores this summer which have been "running at a loss for a number of years."
The branch on Island Green Retail Park, Wrexham, will be closing on Monday, July 31, and the outlet on Eastgate Retail Park, Bristol, will also be closing, reports Birmingham Live. A spokesperson for Asda stated: "Unfortunately, following a period of consultation, we have decided to close the stores.
"We recognise this will be a difficult time for colleagues at the store and we are in discussions with all of them to support them through this process, we will do all we can to find alternate roles in other local stores." The closure of the Wrexham branch means that 20 jobs are under threat.
