C&A to launch Romanian store in 2009

Dutch-based C&A, one of the largest clothing retailers at the moment that boasts over 1,000 stores in Europe, will enter the Romanian market next year, and has already started to recruit staff for key positions. “We will expand in Romania in 2009, but have already started the necessary preparations to find a location and recruit personnel,” said Alexandra Pribyl, the official in charge of communications at C&A. The company, which has more than 34,000 employees, hired recruitment firm Neumann to find its staff on the Romanian market. Openings include the positions of store manager, assistant store manager and financial supervisor. The group already has stores in countries in the region such as Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia and Slovakia. C&A, which is part of the Cofra group that operates on real estate and on the financial services market, is present in more than 16 countries in Europe.
