DSG Retail Ireland to increase store numbers

DSG Retail Ireland is looking to grow its network of Currys and PC World operations to 50 stores within the next five years in a move that would create close to 750 jobs.

This follows a decision by the group to rename all of its Dixons stores as Currys — mirroring a similar move in Britain two years ago.

The Dixons brand will be focused online as the company plans to launch Dixons.ie as a result of better broadband penetration and an increase in internet shopping in Ireland.
