Home Retail Group (UK)

Home Retail Group (HRG) is the UK's biggest home and general merchandise retailer, controlling two major chainstore brands. Argos is the country's biggest general merchandise retailer, and the market leader in sectors including toys, furniture, housewares, small domestic appliances and jewellery. It is also unique in Britain as a retailer with an extensive network of high street stores where customers select their orders from an instore catalogue rather than from on-shelf displays. Partner brand Homebase is the country's #2 home improvement and garden centre behind B&Q. The group was one of several created from the break-up of retail and credit services conglomerate GUS. Combined sales broke the Ł6bn level for the first time during 2009.
