Wolstanton Retail Park: Homebase / Argos
From 2014, Argos opened several concessions in Homebase stores. Both are owned by Home Retail Group.
Homebase
Homebase is a home improvement store and garden centre, with 350 stores across the UK. Together with its sister company Argos (with 750 stores), it forms part of Home Retail Group.
Homebase was founded in 1979 as part of Sainsbury's, who opened the first store in Croydon. Sainsbury's sold the Homebase chain in 2000.
Argos
Argos was founded in 1973 by Richard Tompkins. The first purpose built store was opened in Canterbury in 1973.
Argos is a catalogue based shop. Goods are selected from the catalogue, purchased, and collected from a counter. It was initially a rebranding of a Green Shield Stamps catalogue. Read more at wikipedia Link
