Shaw’s Supermarkets to cut 700 jobs

Cuts affect just under 4 percent of grocery chain’s employees

Shaw’s Supermarkets, a 169-store chain based in West Bridgewater, said it plans to cut 700 jobs, or just under 4 percent of its total employee headcount.

Total headcount after the reduction will be about 17,000, a company spokesman said, and there are no plans to close any stores. The company’s store count includes stores operating under the Star Market name.

Comments

Perhaps Shaw's should cut its uncompetitive prices - then I'll shop there.
