Strong business model

Of the total of 48 countries, 28 are operated directly by JYSK, while the remaining run on a franchise-based model.

“We have a strong business model that works well both in our own countries and for our franchisees. One of our biggest strengths is our small store concept, which makes it possible for us to be closer to customers and make their shopping experience as easy as possible,” says Jan Bøgh.

In addition to the physical stores, JYSK will also launch a webshop for Türkiye, which will offer customers an extended assortment with various delivery options to suit customer needs.

“We want our customers to have a seamless shopping experience with JYSK, no matter how or where they prefer to shop,” says Jan Bøgh.
