Description

Primark, an Irish discount fashion retailer with headquarters in Dublin, is to open its first store in the Czech Republic (Prague's Wenceslas Square) in mid-June 2021. This will create 260 jobs and the recruitment for salesforce has already begun. As of June 2021, it is still not clear when the recruitment will be finished. 

Primark has announced a full-time salary of CZK 28,000 (€ 1,100) a month.
