Many retailers have felt the effects of Covid and the cost of living crisis, both of which have altered consumer spending and shopping habits.
Consequently, companies have streamlined to reflect their customers' needs and affordability. High business rates have also crippled the high street.
But despite Tesco's upcoming closure, the supermarket has also announced some store openings.
Tesco will open four stores across the UK, some in the coming weeks and others in the spring.
These stores will include one Tesco, two Tesco Express' and a Tesco Superstore.
