Description
Leroy Merlin, the bricolage and DIY chain, announced a three-year development plan which entails the opening of new stores and the recruitment of about 700 people to be included both in stores already open and in those opening in the next while.
The plan covers the whole national territory, but has a particular focus on Tuscany, with upcoming openings in Lucca, Massa and Pistoia, each with a sales area of at least 5,000 square meters.
Currently, the company is posting 83 job positions in the area of its website dedicated to recruitment.
