The\u00a0popular retailer\u00a0has already\u00a0closed a number of its UK stores\u00a0as part of its plan to move away from the\u00a0high street.<\/p>\n

Argos, which is owned by\u00a0Sainsbury's\u00a0has a plan to close 100 stores across the UK in 2023\/24 and focus on expanding its presence in\u00a0supermarkets.<\/p>\n

It has already shut more than 45 branches in the last 12 months and opened up over 25 branches inside\u00a0Sainsbury's\u00a0stores.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0homeware retailer is also pulling the shutters down on its shop in Swansea's Morfa Shopping Park on August 22.<\/p>\n
