Workers at three major retail stores at a Christchurch shopping centre have been left shocked by a proposal to close all three.
The Warehouse Group is proposing to close The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery and Noel Leeming at the Northwood Supa Centa in September, because of a decline in customers.
First Union southern regional secretary Paul Watson said the closures of the three stores would affect about 90 jobs.
He said staff believed they had not seen enough detail justifying the proposal.
