Currys

Currys began as a retailer of bicycles in 1927. The company expanded its product range and became a major retailer for household electrical products from the 1960s. The company was purchased by Dixons in 1984. All outlets were now under the Currys brand. The business moved away from small shops in towns to bigger out-of-town locations under the Currys PC World name. This combined the operations of Currys and Dixon's PC World into one roof. In 2014, the stores were given Carphone Warehouse departments. All outlets will be rebranded under Currys by October 2021.

Due to the collapses of long-standing rival Comet Group and Maplin, the company is now a category killer in Britain as the country's only major physical electric retailer.

Curry's plc (formerly Dixons Carphone plc) is a British multinational electrical retailer and telecommunications services company. It was established on the 7th of August 2014 by the merger between Dixons Retail Group and Carphone Warehouse Group. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a component of the FTSE 250 Index.

There are a variety of brands that the company uses in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and mainland Europe. These brands include Currys Mobile, Currys Business and Currys Business in the United Kingdom; Dixons Travel in Oslo, the United Kingdom and Ireland; Currys in the Republic of Ireland; Elkjop, Elgiganten/Gigantti and Kotsovolos, in Greece.

In September 2021, Curry's plc has renamed the business. It also replaced the PC World, Team Knowhow, and Carphone Warehouse brands with the Currys brand.
