Jysk (corporately styled JYSK) (Danish: [ˈjysɡ̊], franchises in other countries operate under various names) is a Danish retail chain, selling household goods such as mattresses, furniture and interior décor. Jysk is the largest Danish retailer operating internationally, with 2,300 Jysk stores in 41 countries.
