Retail Store Manager - New Store Opening

Alexandria, MN

$250 Retention Bonus Available!

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is opening our first store in Alexandria, MN — and we’re hiring a Retail Store Manager to lead it.

  • Create schedules and staffing plans that meet business needs
  • Monitor key performance indicators (sales, shrink, payroll) and take action
  • Maintain security of the building, cash handling, and company assets
  • Support store opening activities, including setup, hiring, and training


What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of retail management or store manager experience
  • Experience leading teams in a retail, big box, or high-volume environment
  • Strong leadership, coaching, and team development skills
  • Experience with sales goals, payroll management, and store operations
  • Ability to multitask and lead in a fast-paced retail setting
  • Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays
  • Valid driver’s license


Who Thrives in This Role
You’ll succeed here if you:

  • Lead from the front and hold your team to high standards
  • Enjoy building and developing strong teams
  • Take ownership of results and problem-solving
  • Like being hands-on in a fast-moving retail environment
  • Care about your team and your customers

Our Core Values:

  • Be a Team Player
