What are retail store manager career paths?

If you want to become the retail store manager, you will most likely have to start in a more junior position and work your way up. Entry-level jobs as a sales person, cashier, or clerk will get your foot in the door. Taking a role as a shift lead, or an assistant or associate retail store manager allows you to train with those familiar with the role and its duties. Working as a store manager can lead to opportunities to become a district or regional manager for the company.
