Electronics retailer DSG International is to create up to 100 jobs in Ireland by the end of the year as its plans to restructure its stores and create "megastores" gathers pace.
The jobs were flagged in January, as part of a renewal and transformation programme that included the reformat of 100 stores throughout the UK and Ireland, and the opening 25 new megastores, which typically have more than 35,000 square feet of selling space.
The company said up to 50 people will be employed at its new outlets in Dublin airport. It recently opened an electronics store, Dixons Travel, in Terminal One, and plans a second store for Terminal Two.
A further 50 jobs will be created as the company combines some of its PC World and Curry's outlets into a single store trading under a joint brand name. One of these is DSG's Blanchardstown outlet, which will open late next month.
"If they're as successful as we think they'll be, the group will continue to focus on Ireland and invest," DSG Ireland's managing director Declan Ronayne said.
Should that happen, he said, there was the possibility that the company could create further jobs in Ireland.
