This includes customer service, inventory management, pricing, ordering maintaining overall store standards,  cash management, as well as opening and closing procedures.  We are looking for responsible adults who are looking to advance within the company

Did we just describe you?

Believe it or not, retail experience is secondary to all of those points of interest, but it does help, especially if you're a great sales person. At the end of the day, though, the most important thing is finding good people who we can trust to give our customers the Grandpa Joe's experience. If you think you're that person, please apply for this position! Must love chickens.
