A new Argos store opened today inside Sainsbury’s at Straiton. The store at Straiton Mains is now closed and 18 members of staff transferred to the new outlet about half a mile away.

The new store has tablets to allow customers to buy quickly and easily with staff on hand to help.

Sharon Matthews, Sainsbury’s Straiton Store Manager said: “We are thrilled to welcome the Argos team and even more fantastic colleagues to our store in Straiton. The opening is great news for our customers, who are always looking for easier, more convenient ways to shop. We look forward to offering them an exciting range of products at fantastic value.”

There are over 250 Argos stores in Sainsbury’s supermarkets with customers valuing being able to shop for a huge range of both grocery and general merchandise products in the same place.
