Tesco is to close its Devizes Metro store in the middle of the town. The store will close on April 4 with the loss of 61 jobs.
This store is one of 43 the troubled supermarket is closing – with a total possible loss of 2,000.
Tesco have already abandoned their planned store in Royal Wootton Bassett, but say they will still be opening a new store in Calne.
Devizes is the only Tesco closure in Wiltshire. Marlborough’s Tesco has the advantage of the 200-plus new homes to be built within the next two years just opposite the store.
