Oh yippee:D:D
I might take a little drive down that way this evening after college and before work.
I wonder if they will have any opening offers or anything when they do open.

Oh and plenty of the staff were up in Homebase last night for training or something,I didnt get to talk to them:(

The offers that will be on are the same as in every other Argos store in the ROI.....there are no specials specific to the store opening. Catalogues, promo leaflets and xmas brouchers will be available with the latest deals on Thurs morning when the store opens.

"The Book of Dreams" is available at Argos now. They have a couple of pallets outside. I had a look in - it looks like a real Argos and everything!!

Tried to run a search on their website for store location opening times and it wouldn't work. Hope this thread can help you out. They tend to close around 7-ish btw. An extension hopefully with Christmas on the way.

Where about in Sligo is the new Argos shop ? The Argos shops I have seen in Enniskillen, Athlone and Castlebar is in the town. Is the one in Sligo in an industrial estate somewhere ? Nobody seems to know what street its on ?

Do you know where Lidl is?
If so, you pass Lidl with Lidl on your right, turn right at the end of the road (I think its called Martin Savage Terrace) and you will see the retail park further up the road on the right.
Its a fair enough walk from the railway station.
As far as I remember there are signs up for Cleveragh Retail park.

In my opinion I think its in the wrong place, but its not the fault of Argos who wanted to go to the Carraroe retail originally.

Jimmy, if you're coming in the dual-carriageway from the Coolooney side, take the second exit after Coolooney (for Carraroe). At the top is a wee roundabout - take the second exit. Follow follow follow the road straight through 3 sets of traffic lights and you should get to the Garda station (on your right). Turn right beside it and go down the little street. At the end of it go straight throught the tiny roundabout, and then straight through the one at Dunnes. When you get to a t-junction turn right and Cleveragh retail park is just down on your right.

Have fun shopping!

Argos extra's are bigger and hold everything that's in the catalogue in stock except for some of the Home Delivery items such as some of the beds and sofa's.
On that note,home delivery is €7.50 within Co.Dublin but €29.50 for everyone who doesn't live in Dublin...bit unfair if you ask me!:mad:
