The Challenge: Balancing Expansion with Existing Store Performance

JYSK Group, a leading retailer of homeware and furnishings, faced the dual challenge of expanding into new markets while ensuring the continued profitability of their existing stores. Cannibalization of existing locations was a significant concern, as opening new stores too close to existing ones could potentially divert customer traffic and reduce overall revenue. Additionally, identifying "white spots" – regions with untapped market potential – required a deep understanding of customer demographics, competitive landscapes, and local market trends across multiple European countries.
