About The Position

Noor Staffing Group employs the Seasonal Store Manager to represent Hickory Farms and lead the day-to-day operations and performance of one or more seasonal retail locations. The manager is responsible for sales results, staffing, visual merchandising, inventory accuracy, loss prevention, and compliance with company and operational standards. The role leads by example, develops a high-performing sales team, and works to deliver exceptional customer experiences. Schedules are based on business needs. Following Thanksgiving, managers are expected to work a minimum of 32 hours per week when sales volume supports the additional labor expense, with additional hours as needed for successful store operations. The manager must be available for any required shift, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, and must be able to travel to the store on short notice to address operational needs. Local travel to other store locations may occasionally be required. The position is based primarily in a high-traffic mall retail environment. It involves extended standing, frequent movement and customer interaction, and may include exposure to weather and hot or cold temperatures during product restocking and freezer access. The role requires standing for at least two consecutive hours, occasional exertion of up to 42 pounds and frequent exertion of 25–35 pounds, as well as frequent bending, lifting, reaching, and walking. Pay is $18.50–$19.75 per hour. Because this is a seasonal position, it is not eligible for medical or other company-sponsored benefits unless required by law; seasonal team members receive a 30% discount on Hickory Farms products.
