Foreword
This is the 2011/12 annual report for the part of the JYSK Group known as JYSK Nordic. This report covers those companies with stores in the Nordic countries, central Europe, the Netherlands, the UK and China. The report thus covers 15 of the countries in which JYSK now has stores. The report does not cover the stores in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain or Italy, which are run by JYSK Nordic's sister company Dänisches Bettenlager. JYSK Franchise and other companies in JYSK Holding A/S have not been included either. JYSK's financial year finished at the end of August. The expansion of the overall JYSK group is continuing. We currently have around 17,500 employees spread across more than 2,000 stores, two head offices and six distribution centres. This year, we can therefore state once again that the number of stores and employees has never been higher – and that we are continuing the expansion, allowing even more customers to enjoy lots of great offers from JYSK.
Happy reading!
