Two Sainsbury's cafes in the North East have avoided closure as the supermarket prepares to shut 200 of its cafes in stores across the UK.
Around 2,000 members of staff will be affected by the cafe closures, which come as Sainsbury's announced new plans to "transform" its eat-in, takeaway and home delivery food and drink offer in 250 of its supermarkets over the next three years.
However, 67 Sainsbury’s cafes will stay open across the UK, including those in Durham and Darlington, while Sainsbury’s reviews rollout plans.
