It is the end of an era today as retail giant Argos closes its doors for the last time in Letterkenny at 5pm. 

The closures are country wide, with shop purchases still available on items, but not all, until this evening. 

Their shop in Sligo was also a popular destination for people coming from the south Donegal area down the years.

The company opened their first retail units in Ireland back in 1996 with 34 stores. 

And before they did away with the physical catalogues, they were an essential pick up, for people popping into town, especially in anticipation of the Christmas time.

Click and collect services at the shop finished up on June 22. British supermarket giant Sainsbury's purchased Argos for €1.26bn in 2016. 

On their website they said:

“We have made the difficult decision to close our Argos stores and online operations in the Republic of Ireland by 24 June 2023.

“Our stores will close on 24 June at 5pm and our Click and Collect service will stop taking reservations on 22 June at 5pm. Items can still be purchased in-store up until stores close. Our home delivery service is no longer available, and we have stopped selling some larger products in stores.

“Don't forget to use any unspent gift cards in store before we close.

Argos stores will remain open to customers in the Republic of Ireland until 24 June 2023 except for a small number of stores, which will close slightly earlier due to lease terms.”
