The Co-op supermarket is slimming down its shelves to a smaller, more focused range due to the ongoing cost of living crisis.
The supermarket chain, which is the seventh biggest in the UK, revealed the plans in a letter, which has been seen by industry publication The Grocer. Suppliers to the Co-Op 's 2,500 stores have been told to stand by for news of whether their products will be given space in the new, simplified range, with warnings that some will lose their shelf space, a process known as delisting.
The letter said shopper habits and choices have continually changed throughout the pandemic and will continue to do so, according to a report in Grocery Gazette.
