General Manager (Store Leader)

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. Success requires strength as an operator, a merchant, and a people leader, along with a strong curiosity for food and the ability to translate emerging trends into a compelling in-store experience.

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

What Success Looks Like

• Consistent delivery of sales, margin, and operational targets
