Select Technology Group continues UK retail expansion with acquisition of KRCS stores in Derby and Nottingham
Select Technology Group, Ireland and the UK’s largest Apple Premium Partner, today announced the acquisition of two retail stores from KRCS, located in Derby and Nottingham.
The acquisitions form part of Select’s ongoing UK expansion strategy, focused on strengthening its presence in key regional markets through carefully chosen locations that reflect the group’s long-term growth ambitions.
Both locations will transition to the Select brand from launch, offering customers access to Select’s full Apple retail and service experience. The new stores will offer expert solutions for consumers and local businesses, while delivering the standard of care customers have come to expect from Select, including a free three-year warranty on key products.
The acquisitions further strengthen Select’s footprint in the Midlands and reinforce the Group’s commitment to the UK market.
“The acquisitions in Derby and Nottingham represent a significant milestone in our UK growth strategy. We’ve been on an ambitious M&A journey since 2021, with this acquisition outlining the next step in growing the group.”
“With over €300 million in group revenue last year and consistent year-on-year expansion, we remain committed to investing in locations that align operationally and present opportunities. These stores strengthen our ability to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience for consumers, and we look forward to welcoming both the teams and customers into the Select organisation.”
Ciarán McCormack, Chief Executive Officer, Select Technology Group
As part of the transaction, the teams from both locations will be integrated into Select Technology Group while the stores will be rebranded from launch.
