JYSK wants to open a distribution centre near Dublin as its looks to cut lead times and improve bed sales.
The chain says it wants to open the facility by the second half of next year and is looking for 538,000sqft of space.
JYSK has 39 UK and 21 Irish stores.
‘As our store footprint and customer base across Ireland and the UK continues to grow, now is the right time for us to develop a state-of-the-art logistics warehouse in Ireland to service this market and the UK. The new warehouse will enable us to better serve our customers in terms of delivery lead times and stock management, as well as being able to increase the online assortment of product, especially mattresses in the sleep category. Stock will be delivered directly to the new distribution centre in Ireland, rather than via Denmark, reducing our carbon footprint in the process,’ says Roni Tuominen, JYSK UK and Ireland country director.
