The electrical retailer closed all of its 308 stores across the UK at the end of March.
It's now making a gradual comeback, although it won't be business as usual.
Currys PC World is initially reopening the 131 stores as "Tech Help Hubs" for the first three days.

It'll also install safety screens at checkouts and service desks, while customers will be encouraged to use contactless payment if possible.
Shoppers will also be urged to request a product demo from staff, rather than touching the items themselves.
Customers can still order items on Currys PC World's website, with standard delivery offered for free.
Just keep in mind that delivery times may be delayed due to high demand.
Mark Allsop, chief operating officer of the retailer's owner Dixons Carphone, said: "Our three day ‘Tech Help Hub’ initiative is part of our commitment to put customers first – even customers that have previously chosen to buy their tech elsewhere.
"We’re pleased to be opening our stores slowly and safely across the UK & Ireland – and we will maintain extreme vigilance, constantly reviewing and improving our approach to safety in an ever-changing situation.
"Most importantly we’re proud of our colleagues themselves, people who continue to work hard to make sure consumers across the country get the tech they need safely."
