Argos closures: Which stores are shutting in the UK and when will they close?

It’s bad news for Argos fans, as the popular high street store is closing shops across the UK in the coming months.

The closures affect the whole country, with stores such as the Coatbridge branch in Lanarkshire, Scotland and the Cardiff Bay and Newport branches in Wales closing their doors.

This comes after two Midlands stores in Coventry, City Arcade and Nottingham City Centre closed in January.

It was also recently announced that all 34 stores in Ireland will close next year, affecting around 600 people.

This comes as it was also announced Sainsbury’s is planning to close two Argos depots over the next three years.

As part of a wider shake-up, the high street giant will reduce its major warehouses from five to three.

The depots affected are the Basildon distribution centre in Essex and the one in Heywood, Greater Manchester.

This change will affect 1,400 jobs, with Sainsbury's confirming all its workers affected by the plan will have the opportunity to apply for jobs elsewhere in the company.

As part of a wider strategy, the last few years have seen the company continue to reduce their stores, with 70 shut in 2019.
