However, the date of the closure has yet to be confirmed by Asda.
A spokesperson from Asda addressed the closures in a statement explaining that stores have been “running at a loss for a number of years”, reported Birmingham Live.
“Unfortunately, following a period of consultation, we have decided to close the stores.”
Asda has recognised the impact the two closures will have on its staff.
However, the retailer is in conversation with those impacted to “support this process”.
The spokesperson shared that it will do all it can to find them alternative roles within other local stores.
According to Birmingham Live, 20 jobs are under threat following the announcement of the Wrexham branch closure.
