A new Argos store is set to open in an East Lancashire town later this month.

The catalogue retailer will close its stand alone shop at Burnley Retail Park on Canning Street.

A new one will open inside Sainsbury’s Burnley superstore on Active Way.

Argos has not told the Lancashire Telegraph that the new store will open on November 12.

Argos was acquired by Sainsbury’s in 2016. Since then, it has relocated many of its standalone stores to Sainsbury's supermarkets.

A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “This month, a brand new Argos store will open inside Sainsbury’s Burnley Superstore.

“By bringing together the much-loved brands of Sainsbury’s and Argos under the one roof, our customers will be able to enjoy greater convenience as the new Argos will enable them to purchase thousands of technology, home and toy products whilst picking up their groceries.

“To make shopping convenient for customers and to enable us to invest where it matters most to customers we are relocating many of our Argos standalone stores to Sainsbury’s – this includes our Argos store a Burnley Retail Park.”
