Expansion is an important part of JYSK’s DNA. Since the first store was opened 40 years ago in Aarhus, Denmark, the total number of stores has grown to almost 2,900 stores worldwide.

The ambition is to be the world's most widespread chain of stores, and we aim to open approx. 150 stores each year until we reach a minimum of 5,000 stores.
