J Sainsbury Plc will open Argos branches or collection points inside almost all of its stores, as the U.K. grocer detailed how it plans to integrate the catalog retailer it acquired last month.
“Over time, we envisage that there won’t be a single Sainsbury’s shop, with the exception of some very small convenience shops, where you won’t either be able to see an Argos concession, or be able to click-and-collect and pick up your items from your local shop -- and within 4 hours,” Chief Executive Officer Mike Coupe said at a press event in London Tuesday.
