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.

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.
