Polish convenience store chain Dino Polska announced that it will create 680 jobs at its new distribution centre in Sierpc, Poland. The centre is expected to be launched in the second half of 2021. The source reports that about 500 positions will be created at the centre, and another 180 in the transport activities. The investment is associated with the company’s plans to expand its activity across the country.
