Shops in Shape

In 2002, JYSK launched Shops-in-Shape to ensure that all stores were in the best shape possible. It all started as a competition but, with its great success, it was permanently implemented at JYSK in 2003. Today, Shops-in-Shape is commonly known as Attractive Store (AS).

JYSK Customer Promises

The JYSK customer promises were introduced for the first time in 2012 as a tool for staying unique to the customers. The customer promises are still a huge part of working in JYSK today.

In 2018, a new machine for customised packaging of online orders was implemented at DC Nässjö in Sweden, DC Uldum in Denmark, and DC Radomsko in Poland. The machine cuts the cardboard in just the right size for the ordered products, which reduces the air space in each package.
