In late 2020, it was announced that the 420 standalone UK Argos stores would close by March 2024, although owner Sainsbury's said it would open 150 Argos outlets within its supermarkets.
An Argos spokesperson said, “Our Robin Park Retail Park Argos store has now closed and colleagues were offered opportunities to redeploy to alternative roles within Sainsbury’s.
"Customers can continue to shop with us at our nearby stores, including Argos within our Wigan Superstore.”
Wigan town centre’s Argos store closed in 2017.
