Currys has unveiled a store upgrade programme for its largest sites across the UK as part of its commitment to “make the customer shopping experience easier”.
The electricals retailer will transform 50 of its larger stores, which will see the inclusion of new categories, seasonal showcases, and a focus on “reinvigorating megastore entrance space”.
The new ranges include health and beauty, pet tech, portable power, and fitness, and its seasonal showcases will include the launch of categories such as BBQs and gardening equipment in summer; back to school tech and supplies in the autumn, and new gifting ranges and services in winter.
Its Swindon, Merry Hill, Brentford and Solihull megastores have all been relaunched, with changes at the remaining locations underway.

It comes as Currys is in the process of transforming the store layouts across 65 of its mid-sized superstores – meaning 115 out of 301 of the retailer’s shops will receive investment this year.
Currys director of stores Matthew Speight said: “The investment in these 50 megastores builds on what we’ve already achieved this year so far, and I can’t wait to hear the feedback from inside and outside of the business on the new categories and seasonal items.
“I continue to be blown away by the incredible teams around the business who work tirelessly to make such milestones a reality for our customers.
“Yet again, kudos to the colleagues– let’s keep building on the UK’s leading omnichannel retailer position and pushing to provide a best-in-class, easy to shop experience for our amazing customers.”
