Job Description

Assistant Store Manager — Legacy Toys

Legacy Toys is an experience for all ages — a utopia of toys, games, candy and more. We create unique experiences that encourage kids of all ages to visit, explore, and keep coming back. As a team member, you're here to put on a performance for our guests: engaging, entertaining, and leaving them with a smile. That means telling jokes, demoing products, maybe even a magic trick or two.

As Assistant Store Manager, you're the backbone of the store. You keep things running smoothly behind the scenes while staying present on the floor — supporting your team, delighting customers, and making sure Legacy Toys looks and feels its best every single day.

What you'll do:

• Lead by example on the sales floor — greeting customers, answering questions, and jumping in wherever needed
• Train and develop Sales Associates and Shift Leads, tracking progress and flagging concerns to the Store Manager
• Help implement store schedules, policies, and operational goals
• Manage inventory: receiving orders, processing transfers, tracking special orders, and keeping the backroom organized
• Keep the sales floor fully stocked, clean, and shoppable at all times
• Share new product knowledge with the team through demos, education, and hands-on training
• Coordinate daily operations during peak times and fill in for scheduling gaps as needed
• Communicate customer feedback and team updates to the Store Manager
• Represent the Legacy Toys brand — on the clock and off — with pride and positivity
• Make someone's day a little brighter

What we're looking for:

• Prior retail experience required; supervisory or lead experience strongly preferred
• A natural leader who can coach, motivate, and hold a team accountable with warmth
• Strong communicator — with customers, staff, and management alike
• Comfortable with inventory, scheduling, and basic store operations
• Flexible availability including evenings and weekends; able to step in when the team needs you
• Fast-paced, high-energy environment doesn't rattle you — it energizes you
• Genuine love for people, play, and the Legacy Toys experience
• Positive attitude (still contagious at the management level)

What you'll get:

• Legacy Bucks — quarterly store credit earned based on your hours
• Employee discount
• Flexible scheduling
• First look at new products and arrivals
• Staff Picks — your recommendations featured on the floor
• A clear path to grow into Store Manager
