Mercadona says that the additional staff is necessary to cover employees who are going on holiday, and accommodate the increase in customers as tourists visit the country.
The retailer currently has a workforce of 79,000 across its 1,600 stores in Spain, after creating 4,000 new jobs last year.
The company was recently voted as the retail/distribution company with the best reputation in Spain.
