    • Create a fresh, in-stock, and highly shoppable environment across all departments
    • Drive sales and profitability through smart merchandising, inventory control, and margin management
    • Maintain exceptional store conditions including cleanliness, organization, and food safety standards
    • Oversee ordering, inventory levels, and product flow to ensure consistent availability and minimal shrink
    • Lead and develop a high-performing team through coaching, training, and accountability
    • Foster a culture of ownership, urgency, and hospitality throughout the store
    • Partner with department leaders to ensure alignment on execution, standards, and team development
    • Handle customer needs with professionalism, ensuring an outstanding guest experience every time
    • Support all aspects of store operations including front-end, staffing, scheduling, and financial performance
    • Ensure proper execution of special orders, catering requests, and seasonal initiatives
    • Maintain a safe and secure environment for both team members and customers


    What We’re Looking For

    • Proven leadership experience in grocery or high-volume retail operations
    • Strong background in store-level financial performance, inventory management, and team leadership
    • Passion for fresh product, clean stores, and exceptional customer experience
    • Ability to lead from the front with a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves approach
    • Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and follow-through
    • A natural coach who builds teams and develops future leaders
    • Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
    • Solid understanding of front-end operations, hiring, and labor management
    • Food safety knowledge with ability to maintain required certifications


    Why This Opportunity

    • People-first culture that truly invests in its teams
    • Strong emphasis on fresh quality and operational excellence
    • Opportunity to make an impact in the local community
    • Clear path for career growth and advancement
    • Competitive compensation and benefits


    If you're a leader who takes pride in building great teams, delivering a clean and fresh environment, and driving results the right way—this is the opportunity to step into something meaningful.
