Dixons is a Dutch chain of stores specialising in what it refers to as leisure time electronics.

This means that Dixons does not sell products like washing machines or televisions but does provide things like digital cameras, PC's, MP3 players, gaming consoles and mobile phones.

Originally launched by Dixons of the United Kingdom (now Dixons Carphone plc) as nothing more than Netherlands-based branches of the British electrical store Dixons, the Dutch arm of the company was sold to Amsterdam-based company Vendex KBB (now Maxeda) in the 1970s.

They changed the store format to what it is now, before selling the company to Dexcom in 2006.

On 12 October, Relevant Holdings (who had acquired the Dutch Branch of The Phone House) were announced as the new owner for Dixons Netherlands; and a decision was made to close 55 of the then 88 shops.
