Argos is getting a makeover - but can it attract new shoppers?
The retailer has been around for 50 years but struggled to compete with newer rivals such as Amazon. Can its new owners turn it around?
AI Summary
Argos, a 50-year-old UK retailer used by half of all households, has struggled to compete with Amazon and saw sales stagnate. Its owner Sainsbury's recently sold the chain for less than it paid a decade ago, but the new owners see "real opportunities" for growth, including opening new standalone shops. Shoppers remain divided, with some valuing the convenience of same-day collection and nostalgic appeal, while others find Amazon easier and better suited to everyday needs.
