Founded in the Republic of Ireland but with an international presence, Primark will have 440 stores worldwide when the new premises opens in the La Vaguada shopping centre.
Due to start trading on February 22, the shop will create over 200 new jobs, and Primark is currently on a national recruitment drive, offering permanent, full-time positions with a monthly take-home salary of €1,300 and no qualifications or experience needed.
According to the company, the La Vaguada retail centre branch will be two storeys, just over 5,750 square metres in size, and have 23 self-service check-out points in addition to the standard staffed tills.
La Vaguada has undergone major renovations, which are still in process, says its manager Javier Escusol, and Primark is just one of a number of major chains that have now opened there or will do imminently.
