Currys is making improvements to a host of its sites across the UK and Ireland, as it continues to invest in stores.
The electrical retailer will see 65 of its stores have 90% of their existing space revamped, designed to make them more navigable for shoppers with enhanced layouts, enabling them to display a wider range of its latest tech.
Currys’ Aberdeen Garthdee, Bristol Winterstoke and Grantham stores are the first shops to undergo the changes, with the revamp set to continue throughout 2025.
The selected stores will feature increased ranges across many of its 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 staff.
The refit is underpinned by Currys’ Asset Reclaim Centre (ARC), which stores and provides recovered fixtures and fittings for reuse, according to the business.
Its team had reused relevant recycled fixtures and fittings from the ARC on this project, giving the assets a second lease of life in a new and improved home.

Currys director of stores Matthew Speight said: “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.”
He added: “I’m looking forward to seeing this transformation to come to life in 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.”
Earlier this week, Currys reported a “strong finish” to its financial year, with its annual profits set to come in ahead of expectations after sales returned to growth.
The electrical retailer anticipates full year adjusted pre-tax profits of between £115 to £120m, up from the previous guidance of at least £105m.
