Never Did I ever think I'd see B&O in Argos....
Wow. They've gone for the quantity rather than quality approach.
Will this support the dedicated dealerships or help to kill them?

Thinking further, having a dedicated shop advertised on the Argos front page with product availability at every Argos outlet could be a much more important 90th anniversary move than the BeoLab 90.

I think this is the worst that you can get. Argos is the most down market trashy shopping experience. It's a 1980s concept. I can't see B&O Play's professional target market shopping or even entering a place like that. What's next? Aldi and Lidl?

This is one of the reasons why my dealer after 25 years closed his shop from October 01, about 50Km further another dealer after 30 years selling B&O stopped also by September 01. Now I lost all of my well know advisers from the brand.
Where do I have to go now, to a large electro shop as ARGOS between coffeemachines and the laundry machines? Or maybe soon at ALDI.
Interesting move. The price is the same as ordering directly from B&O Play online except delivery is free with B&O and you have to pay with Argos. Not much point then really. Argos normally undercut retail prices so I don't really see the logic in this except to widen the market for the brand. It's a bit like trying to sell a Ferrari in a Fiat garage!
Dealers who are struggling must be tearing their hair out - as will their bank managers!

As Vikinger said could be going for sales?...Which could be a good thing as sales/money for B&O but people going on to the Argos website may not know what B&O is all about! And just think they will be another Argos site and not what they really are!

Were you afraid people would not like you being sarcastic or not bright enough to realize you were being sarcastic? 😂😐
Fire away I say!
you are damned if you do and damned if you don't...
is the footfall that ventures into Argos the same that would enter a B&O store ?
a company has to open doors and create drivers..
