JD Sports workers at a Derby warehouse face potential redundancies, threatening the future of the distribution centre.
The company has started a consultation period with the workers at the warehouse based in Derby Commercial Park.
It would affect around 200 employees, and one member of staff said the consultation period would conclude on September 6.
Despite recently signing a 20-year lease on the warehouse, JD Sports is addressing a dip in profits and a challenging market environment.

A JD Sports spokesperson explained: “We have entered into a period of consultation with colleagues based at our Derby distribution centre.
“This is in relation to a review of the Derby distribution centre. We are doing all we can to look after those colleagues impacted and recognise this may be an unsettling time for them.”
A source said no final decision has been made yet regarding the warehouse.
