Staff at the closing sites will be offered a role at other Argos stores or within Sainsbury’s supermarkets. By March 2024, Sainsbury’s expects to have between 430 and 460 Argos counters inside its supermarkets.
Sainsbury’s bought Argos in 2016 and ever since has been moving many high street locations into stores. Argos currently employs thousands of people across the UK.
