British group Debenhams, which exited the Romanian market about a year ago, is looking for managers for new stores in Bucharest.

According to job ads published on recruitment website ejobs, Debenhams is hiring store manager and sales manager for the cosmetics department for “future store openings” in Bucharest, reports local Mediafax.

Debenhams first entered the Romanian market in 2007 as a franchise owned by Romanian businessman Octavian Radu. In 2013, Radu closed down the six Debenhams stores he operated. The last two units were in Plaza Romania and Bucuresti Mall shopping centers.
