They look a bit like this in store - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/ArgosPromo3/mobile/true/includeName/new-stores.htm
Exactly. Business models change over time as customer habits and attitudes change. Same with town centres. Why people find it hard to grasp I don't know.There's an Argos inside Homebase Newcastle-U-L which looks very similar. Plenty big enough I guess - they don't need shop floor space - just storage. Many people nowadays already know what they want, and in many cases have already ordered it online. They just come in to pick up and go.
I can't see the Hough closing - that's where it should be. They're probably only putting a branch into Sainsbury's to draw people into the supermarket.Exactly.

It would be nice if the Argos on The Hough stayed open though, as it would avoid me having to go the wrong side of town to pick things up from Argos (he said purely out of self-interest).

I'm sure the highly trained security staff will be able to prevent this from happeningIf they use a common entrance, there is scope for some security issues e.g., with people walking out with Sainsbury's items as though it's Argos stuff that they've already paid for.
I would imagine they would use tape to show the purchased items if from Argos....If they use a common entrance, there is scope for some security issues e.g., with people walking out with Sainsbury's items as though it's Argos stuff that they've already paid for.

Maybe your crystal ball needs buffing up a little?I can 100 percent confirm that within the first 2 months of the new year , Argos in gaolgate place will be closing and be relocated to within Sainsbury's

Let's hope that customers won't have to queue for Argos in Sainsbury's for as long as they have to for the checkouts.
Lunch hour rush? Better only have two checkouts open!
Fridays are a nightmare, it floods with old ladies from about noon. Fortunately, they never use the self-checkouts.
