The Argos store at Deepdale Retail Park will close, it has been announced.

It will be replaced by a new Argos Digital store inside the Preston Sainsbury’s supermarket.

The store will closed on July 25 and all staff will be transferred. The new store will open on July 26.

Stuart Butters, manager at Sainsbury’s Preston said: “Sainsbury’s has been a part of the local community for a number of years and we are really thrilled to welcome Argos and its team to our store.

“The new shop is great for customers, who are looking for easier, more convenient ways to shop. We’re looking forward to feedback from customers about the increased range and offer.”

The move comes after Argos, and the Home Retail Group, was acquired by Sainsbury’s as part of their £1.2 billion in September 2016.
