Shoppers say they are "outraged" after the flagship Nottingham city centre Argos store posted a message to customers confirming its closure. Argos will leave its site in Lower Parliament Street on January 15, when the nearest store to the city will be within the Sainsbury's superstore in Castle Boulevard.
A notice put up in the window of the shop also confirms customers can shop at the site up until Saturday, January 14. In 2021, plans were approved to create a 10-storey student block of flats in the building occupied by Argos.
This would lead to the creation of 275 student beds above the shop. However, in November, Argos stressed it had no plans to close the store, with a spokesperson saying: "We have not current plans to close our Lower Parliament Street store."
