PC City store opens on same day firm pulled plug on Spanish venture
A Coruña outlet running for just half an hour before ax fell
Barely half an hour after the latest PC City store opening, in the Galician city of A Coruña, the company announced its decision to end its Spanish operations and leave the market. The decision by the British multinational Dixons Retail to close its 33 stores in Spain will leave 1,224 workers out of a job.
The last of the popular computer superstores opened on Thursday at 10am at Marineda City, Spain's largest shopping mall.
The manager of the A Coruña store, which employed 22 workers aged around 30, declined to comment, but she did express disappointment at losing her job after just a few weeks. Company spokesman Adolfo Lorenzo said the firm had been in Spain for over a decade but only made profits in 2006 and 2007.
