Tesco cuts back on 24 hour opening

Tesco is ending round-the-clock opening at around a fifth of its 24-hour stores - including three in Greater Manchester - as demand for night-time shopping wanes and online purchasing grows.

The country's largest grocery chain said there would be a "minimal" impact on jobs as a result of its decision to limit trading hours from 6am to midnight at 76 of its 400 24-hour stores.

The move was to take effect from 14 March, Tesco said.
