Supervalu

US retailer Supervalu has revealed that the latest step in what it has deemed a company 'rebuild' will involve offloading an estimated 1,100 positions, both current and open jobs.

Following the March sales of several operations, including Albertsons, to AB Acquisition, the group is now looking to slash its national workforce.

According to Supervalu, the move impacts nearly all company offices and departments, although the Save-A-Lot chain will not be impacted.

'The decision to reduce our workforce, although difficult because of the impact to our people, is the necessary next step in the rebuilding of our business,' said president and CEO Sam Duncan.
