Are Tesco removing the Extra format?

Honestly, it would not surprise me. Most people cant even tell the difference between a Tesco Superstore and Tesco Extra, they have cut that much of the customer offering, the Extra brand is no longer relevant. Most Extras that have a load of extra floor space and a dotcom are being converted into Urban Fulfilment centres or leased out to 3rd party companies.

All shops were I am, have had all the extra branding that was on the gable walls removed and the whole outside painted in a new grey colour scheme, seems to be the way they are going now. Only sign that remains, is the Extra sign on the roof of the shop. Even the Welcome to Tesco Extra -insert store name here - is just now Welcome to Tesco - insert store name here-

The extra by me has had it's extra sign removed and the staff have been told that it's just called Tesco.

I am a team manager with 14 years service, but I've been offered a new job, I know there was a document floating about with the change in notice period to 13 weeks. I won't be able to give that and feel like it's very unreasonable. Can anyone confirm if it's a contractual change or is it just a Tesco process change and they can't hold me to it? Thanks

I bloddy doubt it I work in a extra we not long had fancy new led and neon lights saying Tesco extra massive signs at front and side of store

Ah, I was a bit slow on that one 

i figured as much but i can dream lol

For clarity, I was being sarcastic. Not sure who's been pulling the leg of the guy who stated the rumour above me though. It's obviously been totally made up. It would make zero sense.

Where exactly has this info come from or is it just more rumours?

Not heard anything with it, be a good way to kill their profits though? Considering they are in the process of refitting them all lol

But I'd happily take redundancy same as colleagues at ours if they did but think got more chance of winning the lottery twice over.
