One of the biggest Sainsbury's superstores in Essex is set to close because it is not making enough money.

Sainsbury's Savacentre in Basildon's Eastgate Centre is expected to close around March 13 and it will undergo a major refurbishment before reopening as an Asda store later this year.

All 480 Sainsbury's staff have been offered jobs with Asda.
