Dixons to shut under-performing branches

Over 100 under-performing Dixons stores are to close as part of an overhaul at the UK high street electrical chain, it was announced today.

The Dixons group, which also owns Currys, PC World and The Link, said sales at Dixons-branded shops since Christmas had continued to disappoint.

It currently has 320 Dixons outlets in the UK and Ireland but plans to close 106 of the smaller sites over the next three months. The company has not provided details of which stores are to close.

The company said it hopes to relocate a significant number of employees to other stores in the group.
