- Resolve customer concerns while building long‑term, positive community relationships
- Ensure the store is clean, organized, welcoming, and visually appealing at all times
- Play a key role in driving company culture, change initiatives, and continuous improvement

What You Bring
- 5+ years of retail management experience
- Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Business or related field preferred (or equivalent experience)
- Reliable vehicle and valid NYS driver’s license (local travel required)
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Proven ability to lead teams, manage performance, and drive results
