About ALE-HOP

Founded in 2004, the company operates a broad network of physical stores across Spain, offering a wide range of products from balloons and costumes to home décor and novelty gifts.

The company also has an extensive directory of store locations that spans many regions of the country, making it a familiar presence in town centers and shopping complexes alike.

In Spain, ALE-HOP employs thousands of staff members across its store network and maintains a logistics facility and corporate operations in the Valencia area.

International professionals looking to relocate to Spain may find opportunities as store staff (with contracts of varying hours), in store management, or in corporate functions. However, store positions often require Spanish language proficiency, and the majority of job openings are located throughout Spain, with many roles in tourist and urban locations.
