      Great, the antidote to Amazon’s cheap knockoffs and outright counterfeits is about to go down the drain.

      So they’ve bought Argos, closed most of the standalone stores to move them inside Sainsbury’s branches and are now looking at selling?

      I guess that’s the next nail in the coffin.

      Are there any British owned businesses left in this country?

      Direct sales from a Chinese owned company, cutting out Amazon.

      The enshitification of a company that actually worked but nope the execs still wanted a few more percentage points on their line chart

      This is weird. As I don’t know what Sainsbury’s is up to. They must of spent millions moving them all instore.

      First Sainsbury’s shut their instore chemists.
      Then they shut the fresh food counters
      Then they shut their cafes
      Then they shut their changing room in the clothing section.
      Now they are selling off Argos (which I presume will mean they have to close the instore branches)
      They have been cutting staff like mad since Reeves budget.

      What’s left to cut Sainsbury’s?? Oh the toilets! That’s it.

      If they start doing poorly on food they are fucked as they have jettisoned everything now

      The argos business model has been doomed for a long time. They can’t compete with Amazon on price or convenience, nor do they offer a great bricks and mortar experience. I don’t know what JD can do other than asset strip or just oversee the next phase of their demise.

      Nothing left in the UK. Lol. No wonder everyone is running off to Dubai or doing Tommy Robinson protests

      I mean i have occasionally used Argos thats in Sainsbury’s for a few items that I needed on the day. Even if I had to travel to another Sainsbury’s.

      I bought my PS5 Slim from a Sainsbury’s about an hour or so away in Wantage, purely because they were the only place that had any stock at the time so its definitely come in handy for me on occasion.

      Argos was never the best but at least it had a slight feeling of being better than shite Chinese tat on Amazon. No longer if this goes through.

      Given how integrated Argos is with Sainsbury’s, this wouldn’t be an easy sale

      I mean almost everything about the companies are so intertwined that removing Argos is going to take a long time and be very expensive

      So basically Sainsbury’s have single handendly dismantled a high street brand. Close seemingly 80% of the stand alone stores, move into their supermarkers then sell them.

      Hopefully Sainsburys themselves is the next to disappear then.

      Im and not as negative on Argos as many here – I have been able to get lots of stuff same day very locally. Works well with popular electronics like Shark fans or IPhones etc. it maybe makes money.

      What makes no sense is how they sell it given its contained within the Sainsbury’s stores… how the hell would that work.
