Argos store in Taunton town centre to relocate to Sainsbury’s

AN ARGOS store in Taunton town centre will relocate to Sainsbury’s next month to “bring together the much-loved brands under one roof”.

The Argos store on East Street will open inside Sainsbury’s Taunton Superstore on Billet Street on Wednesday, June 19.

This is part of Sainsbury’s policy of relocation of “many Argos standalone stores”.

Argos has been part of Sainsbury's since 2016.

A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “To make shopping convenient for customers and to enable us to invest where it matters most to customers we are relocating many of our Argos standalone stores to Sainsbury’s.

“This includes our Argos Taunton store and in June, a brand-new Argos store will open inside Sainsbury’s Taunton.

“By bringing together the much-loved brands of Sainsbury’s and Argos under one roof, our customers will be able to enjoy greater convenience with the option to choose from thousands of Argos products while picking up their groceries.”

“We understand this will be an unsettling time for those affected and colleagues will be offered the opportunity to redeploy to other roles within Sainsbury's and Argos.”

The Argos store on Hankridge Way will stay open as normal.
