About The Position

Service Excellence. Performance. Integrity. Teamwork. Consistency. Innovation. Having fond memories of vacations with loved ones is an important part of travel. Whether it's celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or "just because", vacationers want to take home souvenirs that bring them back to an amazing experience or location. Or perhaps they are bringing a part of their experience home to share with others. Our retail locations help make this possible. The Gift Shop Manager is a key component in motivating the retail staff to find that "just right" souvenir for each guest and make those connections and memories. Making sure each item is stocked and the staff is trained and ready to sell are the most important parts of being the Gift Shop Manager.
