Beaumanoir, a French group that retails clothing, is to create 250 new jobs in Saint-Malo with the opening of a new warehouse facility. The firm made the announcement on 12th September 2007 and also stated that the development of the new site will involve an investment of 15 million EUR. It is expected that the new jobs will be created between October 2007 and September 2011. The opening of the new site is a part of a plan by Beaumanoir to expand in Europe.
