Carphone Warehouse closing 531 stores with loss of 2,900 jobs

 

The store closures are part of a plan to turn around the retailer's mobile business, its parent company Dixons Carphone said.

The retailer expects another 1,800 staff affected by the store closures to be able to find new jobs within the business.

There are Carphone Warehouse shops inside 305 big PC World and Curry's stores, and these won't be affected by the changes.

 

Carphone Warehouse said customers will be able to go to the big stores for service while mobile offers will still be available online and the carphonewarehouse.com site will remain open.

 

The standalone stores, which represent 8 per cent of Dixons Carphone’s total selling space in the UK, will close on April 3.
