Is Argos open over the Easter weekend?
Argos stores across England, Wales and Northern Ireland will open on Good Friday (April 18), Easter Saturday (April 19) and Easter Monday (April 21) in 2025.
However, stores which do open their doors on these dates will likely follow a reduced hours policy common across the UK.
On Easter Sunday (April 20), the retailer will close all stores in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, marking the Christian holiday.
Scotland will be the outlier with most Argos locations closing for Easter Sunday but a select few staying open - so remember to check opening times before you travel to your local store.
Does Argos do January sales?
Yes, Argos does hold January sales and the retailer gives shoppers the entire month to snag any deals which catch their eyes.
That's right, the retailer doesn't bring their January clearance sales to a close until January 31 giving you as much time as possible to get your money's worth.
In 2025, Argos sliced 66% off of selected electronics and home appliances, meaning shoppers could save on anything from TVs to vacuum cleaners.
The Remington Shea Soft Hair Dryer dropped a whopping 66% in price, falling from £50 to only £17 in the January clearance sale.
Sale items were available both in-store and online with standard delivery starting at just £3.95 and same-day options available for an additional fee.
Click and collect is free for items ordered online.
Does Argos do Black Friday sales?
Yes, Argos does offer Black Friday sales and the retail giant has already begun counting down to the big day!
With November fast-approaching, the high street store has some advice for potential customers:
Be prepared: advises shoppers to prepare for a day of smooth shopping by researching the products you want and writing up a list of back-up options in case you are too late.
Create an Argos account: To purchase an online order on the day you will need an Argos account set up, so you can get ahead of the game and make sure to register before the rush!
Shopping online: Finally, Argos recommends shoppers complete their hauls from the comfort of their own home by starting early, prioritising their lists, sticking to their budgets and being patient.
On the big day, all orders bought online before 5pm will be delivered by 10pm on the same day for just £5.95, subject to availability.
