Fate of Blenheim Smiths City uncertain

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

The fate of Blenheim's Smiths City is in question after the retail giant last week announced a restructure.

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.
