About Action

Action is growing fast – in fact we’re the fastest growing non-food discounter in Europe. We grew from a single store in Enkhuizen (in Netherlands) into an international retail organization in the space of 30 years, with over 2 800 stores in 12 countries.

Impressive numbers, but what really matters to us is people. Our customers, whom we want  to surprise everyday with amazing products for low prices and of course, our employees, who work every day to make a success of our company and themselves.

If your dream is to build a successful career in retail, Action wants to make it happen.
