Dixons to close over 100 stores

More than 100 under-performing Dixons stores are to close as part of an overhaul at the high street electrical chain, it was announced today.

The Dixons group, which also owns Currys, PC World and The Link, said sales at Dixons-branded shops since Christmas had continued to disappoint.

It currently has 320 Dixons outlets in the UK and Ireland but plans to close 106 of the poorly performing sites over the next three months.

The company hopes to relocate a “significant number” of employees to other stores in the group.
