Jysk, a Danish home retailer which opened its first stores in the Republic last year, remains on track to have about 20 outlets open here by the end of 2021 despite the impact of Covid-19 on the Irish economy and the retail sector. Jysk Ireland, which merged with the group’s UK business over the summer, does not break out figures for the Irish market. The retailer said combined Irish and British sales reached €41 million for the 2019-2020 financial year. Jysk, which in total operates more than 2,900 stores in 51 countries, announced record global turnover of €4.1 billion. The group employs 112 people in Ireland, and plans to recruit up to 150 more over the next 12 months as other stores open.
