Camera chain Jessops announced today it is to close 15 stores.
The Leicester-based group would not reveal the location of the shops which will shut.
The company said affected staff would be offered roles elsewhere in the business, which has around 180 branches.
A statement said:"There are 15 stores which do not meet the required level of profitability and so unfortunately these stores will close.
"Jessops will be contacting customers by e-mail to explain where their nearest Jessops store is now located."
Last year, Jessops relocated its store in Granby Street, Leicester to the former Clinton Cards shop in the city's Gallowtree Gate. The group also has a store in Loughborough.
