Scandinavian retailer JYSK has announced it will open in Oldham this spring, creating around 10 new jobs.
The group, which has been breaking sales records in the UK, and unveiled expansion plans to match early last year. UK store numbers reached 19 in 2019, with a target of 54 in the next four years.
Country Manager for JYSK, David Ashton, says: “We’ve had our eye on Oldham for quite some time, just waiting for the right location to become available. We have it now and we are ready to begin work on creating yet another of our new-generation Concept 3.0 stores at Alexandra Retail Park, Park Road, Oldham.
“As ever, we like to do things a little differently at JYSK. We want the cream of Oldham applying to work with us and, in return, we’ll help deliver the ambition. So we want to hear from anyone with a great attitude, great personality and a willingness to help people. The first step is to apply at careers.jysk.co.uk and upload a short CV. The next stage sees candidates receive two video questions to answer. That’s instead of a preliminary face-to-face interview. It speeds up the process and saves them having to come to us - and it can be done whenever and wherever they like!
“We are interested in employing local people, developing their skills and helping them achieve their ambitions. And if they have never worked in retail, that’s fine. We can train for that.”
The store is set to open in the first weeks of March.
