Our story

Argos store image

We opened our first stores in 1973. Before online shopping became part of everyday life, the Argos catalogue gave our customers a simple way to browse and choose products before collecting them in store. From the start, we’ve focused on making shopping easier, clearer and more convenient. 

Today, we’re digital first, backed by stores and collection points across the UK and a range of thousands of products across technology, home, garden, furniture, toys, sports, health and beauty, and everyday essentials. Shopping has changed a lot since the catalogue days, but our aim hasn’t: to help our customers find what they want, feel confident in their choice and get it in a way that works for them.  

As part of the Sainsbury's group our customers can benefit from collecting and spending Nectar points on most purchases made online and in store.

Trusted by Britain for over 50 years, we help you shop with confidence. From useful information before you buy to straightforward support afterwards, we’re here when you need us.

We recently topped the inaugural Digital Capability Index 2026 from Retail Week and The Grocer, which assessed 65 UK retailers against more than 75 measures and insights from over 2,000 customers. This recognition reflects how closely our joined-up store and online experience matches what our customers say matters to them the most.
