has revealed when it will close three popular services in its in a move as part of a major update for its shoppers. In January, the second biggest UK supermarket its remaining patisserie, hot food, and pizza counters as part of a major update.

No specific timeline was provided at the time, but a more concrete timeframe has come to light as part of Sainsbury's latest financial results. The move comes as part of a wider business restructure which will see the company cut head office roles and around 20% of senior positions. The changes are likely to see 3,000 jobs lost, representing around 2% of Sainsbury's 148,000 workforce.

The company said that the changes are part of its strategy to "simplify the business" in response to a "particularly challenging cost environment."

They added that the products usually sold in these areas will be moved to other aisles in the store.

Sainsbury's has been a vocal changes of government plans to increase employer national insurance contributions, claiming in January that it would add £140m to its bottom line.

The major overhaul comes as part of plans to close all of its remaining 61 in-store cafes, which Sainsbury's said were no longer used "regularly" by the majority of customers, as well as hot food, patisserie, and pizza counters.

Speaking at the time, Simon Roberts, Sainsbury's chief executive, said: "We launched our Next Level Strategy almost a year ago and are totally focused on making good food joyful, accessible and affordable for everyone, every day.

"As a result, we're seeing real momentum across our business, with a best-ever value position, leading quality and increasing market share.

"As we accelerate into year two and beyond of our strategy, we are facing into a particularly challenging cost environment which means we have had to make tough choices about where we can afford to invest and where we need to do things differently to make our business more efficient and effective.

"The decisions we are announcing today are essential to ensure we continue to drive forward our momentum but have also meant some difficult choices impacting our dedicated colleagues in a number of parts of our business. We'll be doing everything we can to support anyone impacted by today's announcements."

Despite the restructure, the business is still experiencing bumper profits despite challenges caused by war in Europe and supply chains.

Last week, the supermarket chain reported that sales and profits grew over the year to March, reaching £1bn.
