Sainsbury's are "looking to shut 200 stores, if they manage to acquire Argos"....
I imagine that we could lose one here, perhaps..?
No openings. They are over-staffed already.Considering theArgos' business model, (an alternative to Amazon with easy collection options for those who work and faster delivery) which is pretty successful at the moment, shutting both shops in Stafford and other shops nationwide, seems like a recipe for failure.
I wish somebody would pay me these corporate megabucks to come up with ideas for failure, because I reckon I could do really well.
Whenever I pop into the Hough Argos, it's busy, so unless these people have gone to Argos for a day out without buying anything, then I don't know what's going on.Argos have had a very poor year. I can see a buyer coming in, not certain that Sainsburys is a good fit other than they may be looking to expand their ecommerce proposition.
I heard a rumour a while ago that Argos wanted to become an online-only retailer. Sainsbury may buy the business and do that.
Could Sainsbury's move into the Morrisons that never was/could never be and that be big enough, for an Sainsgos/Argosbury's?
So you'd put in the sort of thing you want to buy (a printer, say) and as you've previously put in your location, it'd only list items in stock in stores within say 5 miles. Yup .... doesn't sound too difficult.There are a few things Argos need to do to make shopping easier, the major one though is to browse stock by what is in your nearby stores. I want to be able to say just show me what is in stock in Stafford, don't make me browse for things then have to individually check each item. Screwfix need to do this too, its ludicrous that they don't.

They'd save themselves a few bob by doing away with the printed catalogue, which is no longer needed with today's internet.
Well they can go and buy a catalogue then.Older people love real pages
