Description
In the City of Ivanec, the second STOP SHOP in Varaždin County and the 18th retail park in Croatia was officially opened, employing over 100 new workers in the retail trade. This investment is worth € 6 million.
STOP SHOP Ivanec spans 7,660 m² with 368 parking spaces, hosting a wide range of local and international brands. The STOP SHOP retail parks were developed with the idea of providing simple, accessible, and fast shopping for all citizens, especially those living in small and medium-sized towns.
Ivanec was chosen as the location because it is well-connected, economically active, and has clearly defined needs among the local population.
STOP SHOP Ivanec is a part of the international CPI Property Group.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
