A Smiths City spokesman would not comment following the company's announcement that its post-pandemic restructure would likely cause some stores and employees to face the axe.
The furniture and electronics retailer had not yet identified which stores would close or how many staff members would be affected, but was due to decide after talks with its 465 staff and its landlords.
Blenheim's Smiths City building is the biggest in the Marlborough District Council's portfolio, at 1800-square metres.

Restaurants have started preparing to follow the Government’s “three S’s” rules of social distancing — seated, separated, and single-server, when the move to level two is permitted. The Government is due to announce that decision today.
The rules mean all patrons must be seated, there must be appropriate distancing between tables, and each table must have a single server, with no counter service available to minimise contact.
Marlborough Public House co-owner Paul Frost said his restaurant had a capacity of 200 customers but under the new rules he can only have 100 people in the venue, which meant only 85 customers and 15 staff.

The coronavirus lockdown forced the suspension of rugby at all levels in March, with players and administrators left uncertain over when they could return to the paddock.
However, with the possibility of level three restrictions being lifted in the coming days, discussions around the shape of the remaining season are set to begin.
Tasman Rugby Union chief executive Tony Lewis said work was underway to establish return to play guidelines and event management at the region's grounds, while working with clubs to "work out the best systems" following health guidelines for level two.
Event organisers in the top of the south are forging ahead with plans despite uncertainty due to coronavirus.

Garden Marlborough chairman Tim Crawford says planning for the November event is moving “full steam ahead”, but the final call would be made at the end of May.
Crawford said they were planning for the coronavirus restrictions to be "close enough to normal" by November to carry on with the event.
Preparations for the 2021 Classic Fighters Airshow at Omaka Aerodrome have been underway for a year, and while organiser Graham Orphan is putting contingency plans in place, organisers were assuming it would go ahead.
The Marlborough Farmers' Market will reopen under Level 2. Will you be topping up on fresh, local produce at the Farmers' Market on Sunday?
