The retailer, which operates in Romania via seven of its eight brands continues to hire because it plans to open at least 12 more stores this year to reach 100 in Romania, the same sources said. The company officials could not be reached for comment by the time the story was ready for posting.
Inditex currently has 88 stores branded as Zara, Bershka, Pull&Bear, Stradivarius, Massimo Dutti, Oysho and Zara Home, 16 of which opened last year alone.
The Spanish-owned group has been expanding aggressively in the last five years, opening more than ten stores every year. It thus tried to cover all the large cities of the country. Inditex plans to open seven new stores in Bucharest this year, in the Promenada Mall in Floreasca (central-north area of the city) due to open in the fall.
