We are the fastest growing multi-channel Retailer in the UK and as one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024, we believe that there is no better place to excel in your career as a Store Manager.
We work hard to deliver industry leading service to our customers and we are deeply passionate about our products and store offering. We have immense pride in our strong ethics, our ‘feels like family’ ethos and our commitment to ‘Doing It Right’ across every aspect of our business.

Our business is continuing to grow, and we are looking for committed, enthusiastic and supportive leaders and role models, who are always ready to go the extra mile.
As a Store Manager, you will have full accountability for running your own store and leading a team.

You will need to be hard working, proactive and be able to instil our values into your team and store.
In return, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including private health care, excellent wellbeing support through our partnership with Grocery Aid, 15% staff discount in stores, discounts across Retail and sales incentives throughout the year.
