COLOGNE (dpa-AFX) – Because of the high demand due to the coronavirus crisis, the retail chain is looking for Rewe with high pressure new employees. “If you want to work as a temporary worker in our markets, you can apply easily,” said Rewe boss Lionel Souque on Monday. Last but not least, the group hopes for students who currently have nothing to do because of the university closings.
The supply of goods at Rewe and the Group’s own discount chain Penny is secured despite the high demand, Souque emphasized. The group had already increased the frequency of goods delivery in the past few days. People promised that they would be adequately supplied with food, he promised. The Rewe boss described false reports about market closings as “cynical and obnoxious”.
So far, there have also been no problems with the supply of goods from abroad, although the transport times have been lengthened due to the border controls, Rewe said. The restrictions imposed in the past few days relate only to the movement of people, not to goods. The group has also increased the inventory to compensate for possible transport-related fluctuations./rea/DP/stk
