Index, The Catalogue Shop in Sutton, 1999
Company type	Subsidiary
Founded	1985
Defunct	2005

Index was a catalogue retailer in the United Kingdom, that was owned by Littlewoods from 1985 until 2005. Many Index stores were attached to Littlewoods stores. It was a well known retailer in the 1980s and the 1990s, but sales declined in the noughties and it lost many customers to its main rival, Argos.

Index failed to make a profit in eighteen of its twenty years of retailing, losing more than £100 million in total.^[1]
