Are You Actually Awesome at Retail?

We’re hiring a Housewares and Wine Sales Manager.

And if you’re a superstar at retail this is your ticket to turn that talent into a career at a store you’ll actually enjoy coming to work in, in a small Ohio down-town that’s the stuff of Norman Rockwell dreams.

We’re known as the Fun Store – we sell wine, coffee, chocolate, gourmet olive oil, top-shelf cutlery, cookware, and cool kitchen gadgets — and we and our staff have fun with our customers.

Yeah, there’s work, but engaging customers, hospitality, and having fun is a core part of the job.

And if you’re amazing at retail, you understand exactly why and how we do that.

But unlike most retail jobs, this management position pays well, has true upward mobility and ensures you’ll be working with and managing a great team.
What do we mean by pays well?

• Salaried full time position $45,000 to $50,000 plus quarterly bonus after 90 days based on team sales goals attainment
• Health Insurance Plan with Premium Supplementation by Employer
• Paid Holidays, Vacations, personal days
• Ability to move up – we’re adding new stores and so store manager is an attainable position.
• Generous Employee Discount program, which helps since we sell gourmet coffee, olive oil, wine, kitchenware, appliances, beds, and TV’s
• Quarterly Team Celebrations
• Live in a family oriented small town community with great schools and an attractive cost of living.

You need to be a Communicator with great listening skills and the ability to run store meetings, coordinate staff on the floor, produce newsletters, and more.

In addition to those core skills, you’ll need to have
