In November 2016 it was announced that Golden Discs concessions would move into more than half of Tesco Ireland's stores as part of a 3 year commercial agreement. "Golden Discs at Tesco" concessions will operate as standalone units within Tesco stores offering CDs, DVDs and Games. The agreement made Golden Discs Ireland’s largest home-entertainment retailer with 96 locations nationwide.

2017

2017 seen the companies largest expansion since the economic downturn with the opening of 3 new branches in November of that year located in The Square Town Centre, Tallaght, Main Street, Wexford and a pop up shop at 52 Henry Street, Dublin 1. There was also a complete overhaul of the website, www.goldendiscs.ie to include a brand new web store, which gave customers more access to the full product offering, especially those in areas where a stand alone store is not available.

The company's Christmas Pop-up store in Henry Street, Dublin remained open until late summer 2018 with the company stating that they are looking for another location in the vicinity to re-open soon. Soon after this closed, their first ever store in Co. Meath opened in Navan Town Centre Shopping Centre, ensuring that the stand-alone store number remains at 16.

In August, Retail Excellence Ireland announced that their website, goldendiscs.ie, has been nominated in their Best New Website award category.
