Changes to Argos opening times and shopping rules for May bank holiday Friday

Earlier this month, Argos took the decision to close all of its standalone stores, leaving only those inside Sainsbury's supermarkets open.

Shoppers are, however, still permitted to order products to stores which are open, and are able to collect them from here.

For those planning on using Argos services over bank holiday Friday, there are rules and changes to opening hours to be aware of.

Argos bank holiday Friday opening times

As all of the Argos' now open are situated inside Sainsbury's stores, their opening hours will vary depending on the operating hours of the store in which they are situated.

Most Sainsbury's stores are closing at 8pm instead of 10pm on Bank Holiday Friday, so it's expected that Argos will do the same.

However, it is store-dependent, and anybody wishing to visit one should check with their local store first, using Argos' store checker.

Argos bank holiday Friday shopping rules

Shoppers are now required to order items online, and only visit stores to collect them. 

Argos says: "Argos website is open as usual and still offering fast delivery, so we can continue to serve you while our shops are shut.

"Argos stores in Sainsbury’s supermarkets are also still open, but only to collect orders that have been paid for online.

"We would strongly encourage you to order items for home delivery, and to only collect whilst doing your essential food shopping at Sainsbury’s.

"Please note, for the safety of our customers and colleagues, we are limiting the number of customers in our stores.

"You therefore may need to queue before entering Sainsbury’s to collect your Argos order."
