A NEW Argos store will open inside a New Forest supermarket today, creating 11 new jobs.

The new branch at Sainsbury’s in Meeting House Lane, Ringwood, will offer technology, home and toy products.

Customers will be able to use the fast track delivery and Click & Collect service, with 20,000 products available to be ordered for same day collection in store and home delivery in as little as four hours.

While 60 per cent of Argos’ total sales now start online, 80 per cent of customers choose to collect their goods in store.

Stuart Dabner, store manager at Sainsbury’s Ringwood, said: “We are thrilled to welcome the Argos team and even more fantastic colleagues to our store in Ringwood. The opening is great news for our customers, who are always looking for easier, more convenient ways to shop. We look forward to offering them an exciting range of products at fantastic value.”

There are more than 270 Argos stores in Sainsbury’s supermarkets.
