$42K47K/yr Full time October 16, 2026

We're looking to work with someone who can light up a room (or, in this case, a shop full of cookies) and genuinely, truly likes to see customers walk out happy. Because when customers are happy, they're buying cookies, and when customers buy cookies, our cookie stores are profitable.

Okay, we're going to say it: "Results-driven." Isn't that a given? For us, it is. And it's not just the customers we want smiling; it's the employees, too. The fact is that we need a person with a background in food or retail management who will come in on day one and take responsibility for store performance and productivity. And don't worryyou're not going to walk in and get handed a team of downers who you have to push every inch of the way. Our people like being part of a real, original DFW cookie shop, so they'll be ready and waiting to charge ahead under your leadership.

You run the show, and there's no micro-managingjust a lot of trust. That's why two of our managers have ended up joining us at the HQ. We're growing fast. There's real opportunity here.

Just below, you'll see some requirements and responsibilities. Give them a read to see if you think we'll be a good fit.
