CARLSBAD — Gelson’s Markets announced Tuesday a job fair to accept applications for its forthcoming store in Carlsbad, according to a press release.

The job fair will take place Jan. 16 at 7660 El Camino Real.

“We are opening our first store in San Diego in Del Mar on Jan. 14,” said Rob McDougall, Gelson’s president and CEO. “Our next location in North County will be in Carlsbad, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer employment opportunities to another great group of candidates.”
