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.
