DEBENHAMS TO
CLOSE FOODHALLS
Debenhams is to close foodhalls at nine
of its department stores, with the loss
of 360 jobs.
They will close at the end of March and
although some staff will be redeployed,
the firm said there would inevitably be
redundancies.
The closures are to allow space to be
used for the sale of fashion
merchandise.
The foodhalls being closed are at Hull,
Derby, Guildford, Ipswich, Manchester,
Southampton, Southsea, Swansea and
London's Oxford Street.
