Less than a year after closing up shop in Kelowna, JYSK is ready to re-enter the market in a new location.
The Danish home decor and accessories retail chain is finally ready to open the doors of their new Kelowna store in Orchard Plaza.
According to a release from the company, opening day for the new JYSK location will be Saturday, May 18.

JYSK CEO Ludnik G Kristjansson said they’ve been working hard to offer a unique shopping experience to Kelowna residents.
“While providing excellent service and reliable quality, we enjoy helping customers with our product knowledge and expertise,” he explained.
“This new store offers our customers a great layout with JYSK products set up and displayed, as you would like to see them in your own home.”
Thomas Sagmoen is the district manager for the new 27,000 square foot Kelowna store, one of 66 JYSK locations across Canada.
Sagmoen will certainly be hoping that JYSK has more success in its new Orchard Plaza space than the previous two tenants.
Bed, Bath & Beyond shut its doors in that spot in the spring of 2023 after the company went bankrupt, then Rooms+Spaces lasted just a few months before it was evicted due to unpaid rent.
JYSK, on the other hand, was forced from its long-standing home in Dilworth Shopping Centre last summer along with several other businesses.
They all had to vacate to make room for a large residential and commercial development that will add hundreds of housing units to the area.
