Tesco is ending round-the-clock opening at almost 20% of its 24-hour stores as demand for night-time shopping wanes and online purchasing grows.
The country's largest grocery chain said there would be a "minimal" impact on jobs as a result of its decision to limit trading hours from 6am to midnight at 76 of its 400 24-hour stores.
The move was to take effect from 14 March, Tesco said.

Tesco are cutting opening hours at 76 branches across the company.
They're only cutting hours between 12-6, so staff can replenish the shelves with stock! The closest shop that's 24 hours near me is Hemsworth and it will be affected when they make the changes in March - I don't shop there anymore though so it doesn't bother me much - I used to go with my ex when we were still together when I stayed over as it's just around the corner from him, but it was nice shopping there at 2am because we fancied snacks or because we were bored.
I think it will help somewhat as there's always stock all over when at night, but if you start work early in the morning it was nice to do your shopping before or after you finished.
