The supermarket confirmed it would purchase the failing convenience store chain in May this year, as part of a £190million rescue deal. At the time, some 16,000 roles were at risk of being made redundant and 1,100 stores were in line for closure. Today, Morrisons unveiled plans to overhaul the convenience retailer after competition regulators said last week that they were set to clear the takeover. Morrisons said it expects some McColl's stores to return to profitability as part of its turnaround plans but highlighted that there are "132 stores where there is no realistic prospect of achieving a breakeven position in the medium term". All 1,300 workers at risk from the closure plans will be offered roles elsewhere in the company, the supermarket said. Joseph Sutton, Morrisons convenience, online and wholesale director, said: "We very much regret the proposed closure of 132 loss-making stores but it is, very sadly, an important step towards the regeneration of the business."
