Plans to cut 400 jobs have been confirmed by the Co-op, with the majority based at its head office in Manchester.
The group blamed a "tough trading environment" for the move as well as the rise in inflation. It also said will bring forward planned cuts as well as reduce roles by not filling vacancies.
In a statement, the Co-op added: "We make these changes with a heavy heart, but it is the right thing to do for the long-term health of our Co-op and for all of our members."
