Argos - History
Founded
in 1973, Argos was the pioneer of catalogue retailing in the
UK.
After
nearly six years as a private company Argos were acquired
by B.A.T. Industries Limited in 1979, and then demerged in
1990. They became a limited company again until it was acquired
by GUS plc in 1998.
Argos
is now part of the Argos Retail Group, owned by GUS plc. They
have almost 500 stores throughout the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Approximately 98% of the UK population live within 10 miles
of an Argos store.
During
the next three years Argos is planning to open 35 new stores
a year employing an additional 2,000 a year. Argos is to grow
capacity and improve customer service in Argos Direct, the
delivery to home operation.
