ARG renamed Home Retail Group
14 September, 2006 | by Retail Bulletin
Argos Retail Group has changed its name to Home Retail Group.
The change has been made to reflect the fact that customers shopping at Argos and Homebase can buy everything they need for the home and garden. Argos and Homebase will continue to trade under their existing brands.
Terry Duddy, Chief Executive Officer of Home Retail Group said ‘We are very excited about starting life as a separate public company under the great new name of Home Retail Group. This represents an opportunity to provide a strong and clear identity which better reflects the unparalleled breadth of home and general merchandise products that both Argos and Homebase sell.’
