    Carphone Warehouse to close 134 standalone stores

    Mobile phone retailer will continue rolling out in PC World and Curry's stores, closing standalone Carphone Warehouse sites

    134 standalone Carphone Warehouse shops are to close as the mobile retailer moves in to larger stores with PC World and Curry's.

    Dixons Carphone said its customers had shown a preference for the newly formatted 'three-in-one' stores, where a Carphone Warehouse shares space with its sister brands.

    The transition would lead to no job losses, said the company.

    "We are very confident that the impact on sales and colleague numbers will be neutral or better," said Dixons Carphone.

    "In addition, our experience shows that colleagues prefer working in - and customers prefer shopping in - our new three-in-one format stores."

    The retailer reported a 5pc jump in like-for-like revenues for the 10 weeks ending on January 9, including record Black Friday sales.

    Dixon's Carphone also enjoyed a 9pc rise in revenues from its southern European market, with sales in Greece a particular bright spot.

    A strong push for Christmas promotions means the company is on track to record profits before tax above market expectations of ?440m-?450m for the full financial year.

    "It gives me real pleasure to see the emergence of a distinct - and sometimes quirky - Dixons Carphone culture that contains some of the best elements of our different histories," said chief executive Seb James.

    "It has been a pleasing few weeks for which the team have fought hard in a competitive market place."

    Dixons Group and Carphone Warehouse sealed their merger in 2014.

    I prefer them being in a standalone shop, I don't want to see cookers and tv's if I'm looking for a phone and I doubt they'll get as much floor space as they previously had in the standalone shop.
