Currys was taken over by Dixons (now Dixons Carphone, owners of the Dixons electrical products retail chain) in 1984, but maintained its separate brand identity.
In April 2006, DSG announced that its Dixons shops (except in Ireland and in duty free areas in airports) would be rebranded as Currys.digital, making a total of 550 Currys shops in all.

However, in August 2008, the Dixons shops in Ireland were rebranded as Currys, similar to the move in the United Kingdom, but without the ".digital" suffix and with a new Currys logo.
Before the Dixons rebranding, the chain contained only a few small town centre shops compared with its much greater number of large out of town megastores.

These shops are generally split into four main departments; computing, home entertainment, major domestic appliances and small domestic appliances.
The shops are a mix of display products and self service sections.
On 17 January 2007, group chief executive John Clare announced that when the leases on the remaining 'Currys High Street' shops (not the rebranded Currys.digital shops) expired, it would be unlikely that they would be renewed: thus the shops will be closed at the earliest opportunity.
