Co-operative Group to close Somerfield

Peter Marks, the chief executive of The Co-operative Group, has revealed that he plans to close Somerfield's head office in Bristol next year, putting hundreds of jobs at risk, and that it will take "at least two years" to convert more than 650 Somerfield stores to its own brand

If Coop are converting all the Somerfields, they must be planning to sell Somerfield in Swanage otherwise we would have two Coops !

Yet more job losses which the town dosnt need.
