Description
Esselunga, a well-established supermarket chain in Italy, has revealed plans to inaugurate its first outlet in South Tyrol, located in the Bolzano province. The company intends to recruit 130 new employees, encompassing roles such as sales personnel and specialists across different departments. These new employees will undergo a training period at existing stores to familiarize themselves with their duties.
The supermarket is set to be situated within a park, a space created from an urban redevelopment initiative in the center of Bolzano.
