Bookstore CEO Claims Staff Shortages Cost Millions in Sales
Avi Shomer, CEO of the bookstore chain Tzomet Sfarim, stated that the company is losing significant revenue due to a shortage of employees. He estimated that if the company had more staff, it could achieve an additional 100 million shekels in annual sales.
Shomer's comments highlight a broader issue of labor shortages impacting various sectors of the Israeli economy. The retail industry, in particular, has been struggling to recruit and retain workers, leading to operational challenges and lost business opportunities.
The Tzomet Sfarim CEO did not specify the exact number of open positions but emphasized the direct correlation between staffing levels and sales performance. The company operates numerous branches across Israel and is a major player in the country's book retail market.
