Showgrounds Shopping Centre in Clonmel has released a statement saying "it is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Argos in the Showgrounds Shopping Centre" on June 24.
The centre said: "Since its opening on March 5, 2011, Argos Extra has been an integral part of our community and a go-to store for the people of Clonmel.
"Sadly, all Argos stores and online operations in the Republic of Ireland will cease by 5pm on Saturday.
"The decision comes from Argos's recent statement: '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.'
"Argos Extra has been more than just a store; it's been a part of our community and our lives. While we are sad to say goodbye, we want to express our deep gratitude to the dedicated staff and the loyal customers who made Argos Extra a memorable part of Showgrounds Shopping Centre.
"A special mention to Des, Sakeena, and all the team at Argos Clonmel for their unwavering dedication and hard work over the years.
"We wish you all the very best in your future endeavours. You have been an integral part of our family here in the Showgrounds Shopping Centre.
"Thank you, Argos, for being a part of our journey."
