Argos has revealed which shops it will be axing as part of sweeping plans to close 100 stores this year.
The catalogue retailer, owned by Sainsbury's, has already shut four stores across England - and a further 34 in the Republic of Ireland.
The plan is part of Argos's bid to close 100 high street outlets between now and 2024 as it seeks to expand its presence inside supermarkets.
Now the homeware giant has confirmed the dates pf some of the latest stores closing next month, with the first to shut being Grimsby Alexandria Argos, which will relocate to Sainsbury's between August 9 and 10.
Next in the firing line is the Scunthorpe Argos, which is due to relocate on August 15 and 16, reports The Sun.

A total of 30 Argos stores are set to open inside Sainsbury's supermarkets - leaving 70 locations without direct replacements.
Argos aims to have between 430 and 460 stores and between 450 and 500 Argos collection points inside Sainsbury's supermarkets by March 2024.
It comes after many retailers have struggled since the Covid pandemic - while shoppers have tightened their purse strings due to rising inflation.
Iceland has shut its doors to more than 12 shops this year, while beauty chain Boots announced it is closing 300 branches.

'As part of this, we are we are opening new Argos stores in many of our Sainsbury's supermarkets, enabling customers to purchase thousands of technology, home and toy products from Argos while picking up their groceries.'
