"As sales began to slow and other retailers abandoned the scheme, the original Green Shield Stamp 'catalogue' shops were rebranded Argos beginning in July 1973. For seven years it traded independently (though heavily linked to the Green Shield stamps operation) before being sold to BAT Industries."
