"Following a review of our retail strategy last year, we are ending our franchise relationships, bringing the majority of stores under company ownership to boost our retail estate at the end of existing franchise contracts.
"We’re working with franchisees to find ways to support their employees through this change, including finding alternative roles where possible.”
