Supermarket giant Asda has confirmed it is to cut a total of 1,360 jobs within the next three months.
As reported, the chain - which is owned by US-based Walmart - had previously said it would be making changes to its management structure across its 578 UK stores.
It is not known if jobs at the Grimsby stores will be affected.
The retailer said the redundancies will help create more flexible store management, with greater emphasis on online services, removing back office administration and increasing the number of workers on the shop floor.
Asda chief executive Andy Clarke outlined a proposal to restructure store management last May.
At the same time, store staff were told of the new proposals, which were set to affect 4,100 people.
A formal 45-day consultation period then followed the announcement.
