Morrisons has said 140 jobs are at risk of redundancy in Scotland because of plans to close cafes, convenience stores, florists and fresh food counters.
The closures will see it shut down 13 cafes, one market kitchens, two Morrisons Daily convenience stores and a florist in Scotland.
The supermarket chain said it was costing more to run the services than it was making from customer spending.
The majority of staff members affected by the changes are expected to be deployed to roles elsewhere in the business, Morrisons said.
But there will be a total of around 365 employees at risk of redundancy across the UK – with 140 of those in Scotland.
Rami Baitieh, Morrisons’ chief executive, said the changes were a “necessary part of our plans to renew and reinvigorate” the chain and invest in areas that “customers really value”.
“Although these changes are relatively small in the context of the overall scale of the Morrisons business, we do not take lightly the disruption and uncertainty they will cause to some of our colleagues,” he said.
