Argos was founded in 1973 and is now the UK's leading general merchandise retailer with sales of over £3 billion (financial year April 2002-March 2003).

Owned by GUS plc and part of the Argos Retail Group, Argos now has over 550 stores throughout the UK and Republic of Ireland, as well as distribution centres, call centres and its head office in Milton Keynes, employing over 23,000 people in total. Over the next three years, Argos is planning to open 35 new stores a year and approximately 98% of the UK population now live within 10 miles of an Argos store.

Since it first started, Argos has established a very strong, trusted brand focused on choice, value and convenience. It is the UK number one retailer for toys and small electrical appliances and a leading player in many other markets including DIY and gardening, consumer electronics and furniture. It also has a significant market share in jewellery and sports equipment.

Argos publishes two catalogues a year, the spring/summer edition in January and the autumn/winter one in July. Customers are offered a multi-channel approach to shopping via the website and its stores.
