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.
I have been with JYSK for 9 years and have worked extensively at two of our locations in Winnipeg. I’ve worked my way up from part-time Cashier, to Assistant Store Manager, to Store Operations Manager, and am proud to now be a Store Manager. I am passionate about inspiring my team by mentoring them to develop their skills and confidence to grow within JYSK – just like I did. I also tell my fellow colleagues to remember that a smile can make a big difference in someone’s day!

I joined JYSK back in 2011 when our website was new. With the company’s constant support and seeing value in their employees, I was able to develop my skills within the Ecommerce Department in various roles. Working with amazing colleagues, we continue to reach new heights in our online platform. As we move forward, I am confident that JYSK’s mission, vision and core values give us the tools for success in the future. We look forward to having you join us on this journey as part of the JYSK family.

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.
All jobs are challenging in the beginning, however that did not stop me from absorbing as much as I could about the operations of the business from very supportive people around me; our Distribution Centre Teams know the importance of communication and teamwork. With the experience and knowledge that I have gained throughout my 5 years at JYSK, I can confidently say that I am able to do well in every task that is given to me. I am proud to work at JYSK.
