• Oversee store performance by monitoring operational metrics, sales, labor, inventory, and overall business results.
• Partner with supervisors to ensure scheduling, merchandising, inventory management, and daily store operations are executed effectively and consistently.

• Maintain a clean, organized, safe, and well-stocked retail environment.
• Collaborate with company leadership on promotions, seasonal initiatives, operational improvements, and business objectives.
• Address customer concerns professionally and effectively while creating positive resolutions.
• Promote clear communication, collaboration, and accountability across the team.
• Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency, employee engagement, and the overall customer experience.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Experience leading multiple departments and developing high-performing teams.
• Strong operational and business acumen with the ability to balance customer service, employee engagement, and financial performance.
• Experience overseeing retail environments that include food and grocery products.
• Current Utah Food Handler Permit (required).
• Excellent leadership, communication, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple responsibilities.
