We are looking for a complete leader—someone who can run the business, elevate the product, and build a high-performing team. This is not a single-lane role.

Ensure execution of all company standards, food safety, and regulatory requirements
Establish a disciplined operating cadence that drives accountability and results
Navigate complexity and make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment
Merchandising Leadership
Own the in-store experience across fresh, center store, and general merchandise
Drive merchandising strategy: seasonal planning, pricing, assortment, and inventory optimization
Leverage deep understanding of customer preferences and local market dynamics
Demonstrate a genuine curiosity for food—staying current on trends, exploring new products, and translating insight into differentiated store execution
Elevate product presentation and ensure the store reflects a best-in-class standard
General Merchandise Strategy
Lead and evolve General Merchandise categories including Baby, Beauty, Entertainment, Seasonal, and Texas Backyard/Farm & Ranch
Identify growth opportunities and refine assortment to meet customer demand
Align merchandising strategy with financial and operational goals
Leadership & Talent Development
Lead, coach, and develop a team of 20+ managers across all functions
Build a strong leadership bench and succession pipeline
Own all talent decisions: hiring, promotion, development, and performance management
Create a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement
Change Leadership & Innovation
Lead the store through change with clarity and confidence
Identify opportunities to improve processes, efficiency, and overall performance
Integrate data and insights from multiple sources to make informed decisions
Act as a change agent—driving innovation while maintaining operational discipline
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree required; MBA preferred (or equivalent leadership experience)
7–10+ years of progressive leadership experience in grocery, retail, or food service
Proven success leading large, complex, multi-department operations
Demonstrated strength across operations, merchandising, and talent leadership
Strong financial acumen with a track record of delivering results
Deep understanding of food retail and general merchandise
Strong curiosity and enthusiasm for food, with the ability to translate trends and product knowledge into meaningful business results
Skilled in organizational development, coaching, and performance management
Effective communicator with strong decision-making and influencing skills
High adaptability and resilience in a fast-paced, evolving environment
What Success Looks Like
Consistent delivery of sales, margin, and operational targets

A store that reflects strong product, strong culture, and strong results
