The supermarket giant is planning to move its depot at Opal Way to a new facility in Northampton.
It is not yet clear what will happen to the HGV drivers and warehouse workers affected but a consultation has been launched.
It is thought the site, which is owned by XPO Logistics, could close by early 2019.
The American-owned firm stated it was looking for a solution for the site and any workers who will be left without jobs.
Sainsbury's spokeswoman Shannon Leahy said: "The move is vital to the success of our distribution network, and will enable us to deliver great quality products, as well as great value to our customers."
