A NEW Argos has opened inside Slough’s Sainsbury’s store - after the previous one at the Observatory shopping centre closed its doors.

The new store in Uxbridge Road will offer customers more choice, the company has said.

It opened with a celebration cake and drinks for staff and customers.

The move comes after Sainsbury’s acquired Home Retail Group, which owns Argos and is part of its strategy to help its customers shop in more places.

Jan Moore, Manager at Sainsbury’s Slough Uxbridge Road store said: “Sainsbury’s has been a part of the local community for over 10 years and we are really thrilled to welcome Argos and its team to our store.

“The new store is great for customers, who are looking for easier, more convenient ways to shop. We’re looking forward to feedback from customers about the increased range on offer.”

The Uxbridge Road store closed earlier this month.
