Why Work at Beck Suppliers

Beck Suppliers is a 100% employee‑owned company that truly believes its people are the foundation of its success. Across our four business divisions, we are committed to creating a welcoming, supportive workplace where employees are valued, treated with respect, and encouraged to grow both professionally and personally. At Beck Suppliers, our employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) offers something truly unique: employees build long‑term ownership and share in the success they help create.

Our employees are supported through training, opportunities for advancement, and leadership that values ideas from every level of the organization. The work environment is collaborative, dependable, and grounded in shared values. Working at Beck Suppliers is more than a job; it’s a chance to be part of something meaningful, where your work matters, your voice is heard, and your future is connected to the success you help build.

The Role

The General Manager serves as both the cultural and operational leader of the store, creating an environment where team members feel supported, valued, and empowered to deliver exceptional guest service. This role oversees all aspects of store operations—including convenience retail, kitchen, and fueling—while ensuring consistent execution of our core standards: Wicked Awesome Customer Service (WACS), Clean and Bright Stores (CABS), and Fresh, Delicious, and Ready (FREDDY) food.

As a hands‑on leader, the GM leads by example, stepping in to support any store function when needed while also effectively delegating responsibilities to develop the team. The GM plays a key role in shaping the overall guest experience and maintaining a positive, high‑performing workplace. While the Assistant General Manager steps in to lead when the GM is not present, the GM remains fully accountable for store culture, performance, and standards, and is responsible for developing and supporting the AGM to ensure strong, consistent leadership across all shifts.

• Ensure consistent daily operations across retail, kitchen, and fueling while upholding brand standards for customer service, store appearance, and product quality. Maintain compliance with all safety and regulatory requirements, enforce team adherence to procedures, and resolve guest concerns promptly with accountability.
• Ensure full execution of the FriendShip Kitchen Food Program by maintaining food safety, quality, and presentation standards, keeping food fresh and ready at all times, overseeing all aspects of foodservice operations, and ensuring compliance with company policies and local health regulations.
• Ensure merchandising is executed accurately according to planograms, seasonal programs, and promotions, while staying informed on monthly campaigns and supporting the team in effective implementation.
• Recruit, hire, and train team members to meet performance expectations while providing ongoing coaching and clear feedback. Develop the AGM through delegated responsibilities, maintain accountability across the team, monitor engagement indicators, and ensure schedules align with business needs, labor goals, and team availability.
• Work alongside the team to support operations during peak times or staffing gaps, maintain proficiency in all key functions to effectively train and coach, partner with AGMs to ensure leadership continuity, and provide clear direction so priorities and expectations remain consistent.
• Manage labor, inventory, and expenses to balance operational needs with budget goals, ensure accurate cash handling and reporting, review reports for compliance, resolve discrepancies with the Store Auditor, complete required inventory counts, conduct gas price checks, and publish schedules in Paylocity at least two weeks in advance aligned to business needs.
• Maintain accurate scheduling, payroll, and documentation while ensuring compliance with company policies and standards. Manage vendor relationships and timely deliveries, keep all reports and certifications up to date, and uphold a safe, organized workplace for both employees and guests.
