When you grow, we grow. It’s that simple. At JYSK, we are committed to the ongoing development of our colleagues. As one of the world’s fastest-growing retailers, we provide limitless opportunities to further your career and achieve your goals – whether you work in our stores, distribution or fulfillment centres, or head office.
Growth is in our DNA. JYSK Canada is a franchisee of JYSK, one of the world’s leading and fastest-growing retailers.
From the very beginning, great tradesmanship and great offers were the foundation of Lars Larsen’s work, founder of JYSK in 1979. The journey began with the opening of our first store in Aarhus, Denmark. Since then, JYSK has experienced constant growth. Today JYSK operates more than 3000 stores in over 50 countries worldwide.
JYSK Canada is a franchisee of the global JYSK brand. The first Canadian JYSK store was opened in 1996 in Coquitlam, BC. Today, there are over 60 JYSK stores across Canada, with locations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to grow and fill various roles, from Visual Merchandiser to Store Manager. Today, I am in a position where I can impact and support our colleagues on a much larger scale through training and development. Our team works hard to ensure our colleagues have the knowledge and direction they need to be successful in their roles. If you are committed and passionate about customer service, and open to learning and working within a team, JYSK provides endless opportunities for career growth!

JYSK ambassador
I joined JYSK in 2015 and have stayed because of the company’s core values, the opportunity to grow my knowledge, and the chance to further my career. But most of all, it’s about all the amazing people I get to work with! The most rewarding and enjoyable part of my job is the privilege to develop and inspire others to reach greatness. I also love knowing that my opinion really matters. If you are looking to grow within a company that has great values and lots of opportunities to advance your career (while also having lots of fun), then JYSK is the home for you!
SEAN SEEBRANSINGH, DISTRICT MANAGER TRAINEE
As an organization, our ongoing partnership with Special Olympics Canada and continuous focus on sustainability are just a few ways we strive to make an impact on our communities and on the planet.
JYSK Canada is proud to be a member of the Special Olympics Canada community. Our partnership with the organization helps support more than 41,000 athletes with an intellectual disability across Canada. Since 2008, JYSK has donated over $1 million to Special Olympics Canada.
From our use of more sustainable textiles to our goal of using only FSC-certified wood in our products, JYSK continues to seek new and innovative ways of protecting our planet while providing reliable quality at a great price.
Meeting my prospective manager and hearing his values and goals for JYSK made me instantly want to become a part of the company. Throughout my career at JYSK, I have enjoyed continuous career growth and the opportunity to work with incredible colleagues and management. Constant progress and improvements in the Distribution Centre, combined with the knowledge that I am a part of something much bigger, have kept me at JYSK. From my experience, the work and effort you put in gets returned ten-fold!
