European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Penny Market, a German-owned discount retail chain in the food retail sector operating in Italy, announced the creation of around 150 jobs by the end of 2026.
The expansion plan, part of the growth strategy of the Rewe Group, involves new store openings as well as the renovation of existing outlets, with employment opportunities spread across regions including Lombardy, Lazio, Tuscany, Campania and Sicily.
The newly created positions mainly include permanent full-time roles in retail, logistics and administrative functions, including sales assistants, department staff, butchers, store managers and logistics workers.
