No immediate plans to reopen Melton’s Argos store

The Nottingham Street premises has remained closed to the public now for six months with many customers keen to see it open up again for business.

Online orders for Argos products can instead be picked up at Melton’s Sainsbury’s store - with the supermarket chain being part of the same company.

There have been rumours in the town that Argos would reopen permanently in the Nottingham Road store but the company declined to confirm if that was the case.

A spokeswoman for Sainsbury’s Argos told the Melton Times: “As we continue to learn how our customers want to shop with us we are progressing the phased reopening of Argos standalone stores, while keeping safety our highest priority.

“Customers can find their nearest open store by visiting the Store Locator page on our website.

“We will keep our customers and colleagues updated on our plans.”
