The Co-operative group is to close 10 department stores as part of its plan to exit this sector of the retail market. The group said it hoped to sell the remaining 26.

The remaining 26 stores, which employ 491 full-time and 379 part-time jobs, will be closed if a buyer is not found by February 2007.
