Currys, the omnichannel retailer of technology products and services, is continuing to invest in its stores, with plans to transform 65 locations across the UK and Ireland. The refit aims to better cater to customer tech needs and improve the overall shopping experience.
The first stores to undergo this transformation are Aberdeen Garthdee, Bristol Winterstoke, and Grantham. These initial refits are part of a broader strategy to make Currys stores more navigable and showcase a wider range of the latest technology.
The refits will see around 90% of the existing space in each of the 65 stores changed, enhancing layouts and increasing the range of products available. This comprehensive revamp will continue throughout 2025. The transformed stores will feature increased ranges across many categories, including TV and computing, an enhanced space designed to serve customers better, a more efficient in-store mobile area, and back-of-house improvements to support store colleagues.
The transformation is supported by Currys’ unique Asset Reclaim Centre, The ARC, which stores and provides recovered fixtures and fittings for reuse. The team has reused relevant recycled fixtures and fittings from The ARC, giving these assets a second lease of life in a new and improved setting.
Matthew Speight, Director of Stores, commented: “We’re committed to our omnichannel offering and know our customers love our stores and our tech experts. Investing in our retail fundamentals is critical to delivering value for our customers, and in particular, improving our store layouts and growing in-store ranges really excites me. I’m looking forward to seeing this transformation come to life in Aberdeen Garthdee, Bristol Winterstoke, and Grantham, as well as the 62 stores that follow, and would like to thank all the teams for all the work they’ve done so far.”
