Maxima Eesti, which is part of the international retail chain, has announced plans to recruit additional 100 new employees throughout 2011 for new stores across Estonia. This is in addition to the 600 new jobs that were announced at the end of 2010 (see related fact sheet). As a result, a total of 700 jobs are planned to be created in 2011 in MAXIMA stores across the country. This business expansion is due to a recent increase in sales that encouraged the company to invest in new stores and create new jobs.
