It marks the start of an ongoing programme of weekly showcases, demonstrations and experiences designed to help customers get even more from their technology. Visit the Cambridge Currys store website to find out what’s on.

“I’m so excited about today’s opening, and about where it takes Currys next, with our stores and online working together as one. Colleagues are at the very heart of what makes Currys special, and our stores give them a brilliant place to bring amazing technology to life, helping customers discover, experience and get the most from the latest tech. I can’t wait to welcome Cambridge customers into the new store and see them enjoying even more ways to see, feel and try the tech for themselves,” Lindsay Haselhurst, chief pperating officer, Currys.
The store will also test improvements that could be introduced elsewhere across the estate, depending on customer response and results. The retailer has relocated to this new premises a few doors along from its previous store at Cambridge Retail Park, continuing its 26th year in the city.
As one of almost 300 Currys stores across the UK&I, Cambridge combines the convenience of shopping online with expert help in person. Customers can research online, get hands-on in store or order online and collect, choosing how they shop to suit their day.
