The retail sector in Cyprus contributes significantly to the economy of the island representing around 28% of Cyprus’s GDP. As a result, retail jobs in Cyprus represent a significant share of the total labour market in an industry sector which is growing and thriving.

Traditionally, retail in Cyprus was a cluster of small independent retailers trading from high streets. This began to change in 2007 when the first indoor shopping mall opened in Nicosia, offering a full shopping and dining experience, together with a multiplex cinema. The Mall saw the introduction of a number of international retail brands which had never before been represented in Cyprus.
As of 2018 there are similar Malls in all the major towns other than in Larnaca where the new Mall under construction will open in 2020. In the autumn of 2018 Nicosia saw it’s second Mall open. This is by far the largest Mall in Cyprus housing 150 stores, at the same time the original Mall in Nicosia is extending its size by 30% with completion due in 2019.

Key attributes for successful retail job employees are of course a positive attitude, excellent customer service and communications skills.
