JYSK Ukraine plans to open 10 new stores and reopen 12 stores in the modern Store Concept 3.0 and Compact formats in the new financial year, which starts on September 1.
According to the company’s press service, five new JYSK stores are planned to open by the end of the calendar year: in the A1 shopping center in Odesa, the OBRIY retail park (Tatariv) and Peretyn (Melechiv in the Lviv region), in the Bukowyna Mall (Chernivtsi) and the Lavky Park shopping center (Mukachevo).
The company emphasized that in terms of network size, JYSK in Ukraine plans to surpass JYSK’s home country of Denmark in the 2026 financial year. Another important event will be the celebration of JYSK’s 1,000th employee in Ukraine. These steps are part of the global Customers’ First Choice strategy, which will be launched this year in all countries where the company operates. Its goal is to make JYSK the first choice for both customers and employees.
“This year will be special for us. We are growing as a team and as a chain, while remaining true to our values of strong teams and dedicated work. It is thanks to our people that we continue to develop, and we believe that JYSK will become the first choice for both customers and employees,” comments Yevgen Ivanitsa, CEO of JYSK in Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, JYSK has supported the Ukrainian network. This time, on the occasion of Independence Day and the new financial year, representatives of top management from Denmark visited Ukraine — JYSK CEO Rami Jensen and Executive Vice President of Retail Micael Nielsen. In particular, they visited the JYSK store in Chernivtsi, which last year became the chain’s 100th store in Ukraine.
“We are impressed by the resilience of our Ukrainian colleagues during the war. I hope that our visit was a sign of our commitment and support for them,” says JYSK President and CEO Rami Jensen.
Today, there are 109 JYSK stores in 37 cities in Ukraine, as well as the online store jysk.ua. The company employs over 800 people in Ukraine.
JYSK is part of the family-owned Lars Larsen Group, which has more than 3,500 stores in 50 countries.
JYSK’s revenue in the 2023/24 financial year was EUR5.6 billion.
