NOW HIRING | District Manager — Multi-Unit C-Store & Fuel Operator | Greater Toledo, OH

85 locations today. 150 by 2030. And the bench is being built right now.

We're looking for a field-intensive, highly accountable District Manager to lead a district of 10–12 convenience store and fuel locations across the Greater Toledo area — spanning Perrysburg, Monroe, Stanton, and the I-475 loop. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role inside a family-owned c-store operation that is aggressively scaling through acquisition and new builds, with a growing foodservice program that sets it apart from your average fuel stop.

Compensation: $80,000–$85,000 base | Up to $7,500 quarterly bonus | Company vehicle | Mobile phone | Full medical, dental & vision | Paid vacation

About the Organization

This is a family-owned convenience store and fuel operator with 85+ locations across NW Ohio and SE Michigan — on a clear runway to 150 stores by 2030 through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth. What makes this platform unique is its foodservice-led store concept, currently operating 18 in-store kitchens across the network and growing. The leadership team is building the operational bench now to carry the organization through its next stage of growth.

What You'll Do

• Lead a district of 10–12 stores across the Greater Toledo market, reporting directly to the VP of Operations
  
• Recruit, develop, coach, and retain Store Managers, AGMs, and hourly teams — maintaining active development plans for every manager and growing high-potential talent toward their next seat
  
• Own district P&L — drive sales and EBITDA year-over-year, manage labor productivity, and hold the line on cash over/short, shrink, and store audit results
  
• Execute the in-store foodservice program across kitchen-equipped locations — coaching GMs on kitchen operations, planogram compliance, and promotional execution
  
• Lead loss prevention efforts including daily cash reconciliation reviews, exception reporting, mid-shift audits, lottery audits, and inventory investigations — pursuing corrective action and documentation as warranted
  
• Conduct planned store visits using structured agendas and documented action items
  
• Manage emergency alarm response and third-party surveillance, alarm, and equipment partnerships
  
• Drive in-stock rates and merchandising execution across the district in partnership with vendor teams
  

What You Bring

• 3+ years of multi-unit retail leadership — c-store and fuel direct operations strongly preferred; QSR or high-discipline retail experience also translates well
  
• PDI platform experience required at a subject-matter-expert level — daily accounting, sales-to-purchase, days-of-supply, and book vs. actual reconciliation
  
• Demonstrated track record of building bench depth — advancing AGMs and GMs into stronger seats and developing high-potential talent
  
• Strong P&L acumen across the metrics that matter: cash over/short, sales YoY, EBITDA YoY, shrink, store audits, and labor
  
• Working knowledge of loss prevention, labor management, and vendor and merchandising execution
  
• Comfort with kitchen-driven c-stores — foodservice multi-unit experience is a direct advantage
  
• Hands-on, field-intensive operator — responsive, decisive, and hardworking
  
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
