According to the release, Altadena store manager Jennifer Gonzales said the store will be looking to hire in all areas of the store, including supervisory positions, in full and part-time positions. “We are excited to bring additional jobs with career opportunities to the area,” Gonzales said in the press release.
According to the release, the majority of associates will begin work in early 2013 preparing for the store's grand opening.
