Description
Interspar will hire 100 workers for its new hyper-market opening in Pula, Istria peninsula; the second in Croatia. The management of Interspar Croatia is extremely pleased because it has been searching for an adequate location in Pula for a long period. Over HRK 25 million (€ 3.3 million) were invested to equip the Interspar hyper-market. The most modern technologies were used: full LED lighting that will save up to 15% of electricity. In addition, the system for heating and cooling is designed according to 'green' emission guidelines to protect the environment.
The first Interspar hyper-market in Croatia was opened 11 years ago in the city of Zadar.
