Dixons to vanish from high street

The Dixons name is to disappear from the high street after almost 70 years, its owner revealed today.

DSG International will use the “Currys.digital” banner for its 190 Dixons stores as it merges its two core operations to create a new 550-shop division.

While the Dixons name will remain in use for DSG’s e-commerce operation, the stores move ends a presence on the high street dating back to 1937.
