A spokesperson for the Co-op, confirmed: “The Co-op is moving forward with a clear purpose and momentum and while this often involves opening new stores, we also regularly review our existing sites.
"The decision to sell any store is never taken lightly and, only after careful consideration is our store in North Moor Road to be sold.
“Our priority has been to safeguard local jobs, and colleagues - who have been informed – will transfer (under TUPE* regulations) to the new operator and, are being fully supported.
