Argos is launching a further 21 new look stores across the country this August, including one store being unveiled in Galway, continuing the roll out of a new image for Argos in Ireland.
This Saturday August 6, the new layout and format will be unveiled in 21 stores across Ireland. To celebrate the launch, each store will have exclusive launch offers in store on the day, the first 50 customers through the doors will receive a €10 Argos gift voucher, and the first 100 customers will receive a free Chad Valley Magic Writer.
Argos has invested over €4million in the refurbishment and development of all its stores in Ireland, securing nearly 50 jobs in its store in Galway.
21 stores across Ireland including counties Cork, Donegal, Laois, Limerick, Mayo, Sligo and Waterford will participate in the 6th August event. 16 Argos stores in Ireland launched their new look in back June 2011, and two new Argos stores opened earlier this year in Clonmel and Naas.
Celebrating 15 years in Ireland and securing more than 1,300 jobs, the refurbishment of the stores comes at an exciting time for Argos as they enjoy the 15 year milestone, while continuously updating their services, stores and catalogue to ensure customers have a satisfying shopping experience.
Speaking about the launch, Alison Evans, Argos Regional General Manager for Ireland said, “This extensive refurbishment shows that Argos is committed to developing and improving its stores in Ireland. We are dedicated to continuing our investment in Ireland, and increasing the number of stores across the country, in order to give our customers more choice, value and convenience when shopping”.
The refurbished stores include a new format with updated jewellery and watch galleries, allowing customers to try on items before purchasing. New dedicated technology display areas showcasing cameras, video cameras, plasma T’s, mobile phones and satellite navigation systems will also give customers a chance to view and handle technology products before purchasing.
Each store has benefited from new lighting and eye-catching displays, giving them a more contemporary look. New state-of-the-art touch screen browsers have been installed in each store, enabling customers to browse and search easily for items to buy. All of the stores have new quick pay kiosks, where customers have the option to pay for their items electronically rather than queuing up for a cashier.
“Our new look stores have a fresher, more contemporary feel which we hope our customers will enjoy and the new facilities such as the computer systems and payment kiosks will make their shopping experience much easier and more convenient”, continued Alison Evans.
Argos launched their 2011 Autumn / Winter catalogue in stores nationwide on Saturday 30th July.
To celebrate Argos being in Ireland for 15 years, every month from August 2011 through to January 2012, Argos is giving Irish consumers the opportunity to win €1,500 of Argos vouchers to spend on whatever they want. The competition went live at midnight on 30th July and to enter all you have to do is go online at www.argos.ie/15years
