Since it first started, Argos has established a very strong, trusted brand focused on choice, value and convenience. It is the UK number one retailer for toys, small electrical appliances and housewares. It is also a leading player in many other markets including DIY and gardening, consumer electronics and furniture. It also has a significant market share in jewellery and sports equipment.
