Dixons Carphone, Europe’s largest CE and appliance specialty chain and former Best Buy mobile partner, has outlived its brick-and-mortar competitors by learning how to survive and thrive in the era of Amazon. And in many ways its formula for success parallels that of Best Buy.
“As Amazon.com Inc moves deeper into the grocery and fashion industries, the companies in its cross hairs could look to the U.K. for a lesson in how to handle an incursion from the Seattle-based giant. Dixons Carphone Plc, Britain’s largest consumer-electronics retailer, has thrived in an area where Amazon’s presence is long established.”
