Description
Action, a Dutch non‑food discount retailer, plans to expand its operations in Italy in 2026, announcing around 240 open positions in its national store network. The vacancies mainly concern retail staff in newly opened stores across several italian regions.
The hiring initiative follows the company’s growth in 2025, when Action reported higher sales and extended its store network both internationally and in Italy, surpassing 200 stores by the end of the year. The Italian expansion includes new outlets in multiple cities and reflects the company’s broader development strategy.
