its supermarket counters and Argos stores.
The company said its in-store meat, fish and deli counters
were to be permanently shut due to a lack of
shopper demand while 120 more Argos branches faced
imminent closure as it accelerates a drive to
open Argos within its supermarket network.

A total of 420 standalone Argos stores
are to go over the next three-and-a-half years.]
