We're looking for people who enjoy working with others, take initiative, and bring a positive attitude to work. Previous retail experience is an asset, but just as important is a willingness to learn, a strong work ethic, and a genuine desire to help customers.

The Fundamentals of What You'll Do

• Create Great Customer Experiences: Welcome customers, offer assistance, and help them find the right products for their needs.
• Be Approachable and Helpful: Build positive relationships with customers by listening to their questions and providing friendly, knowledgeable service.
• Learn and Share Product Knowledge: Develop an understanding of the products in your department so you can confidently assist customers and recommend solutions.
• Keep the Sales Floor Ready: Maintain well-stocked shelves, organized displays, accurate pricing, and clean, presentable aisles.
• Support Sales and Promotions: Help execute promotional displays, seasonal initiatives, and merchandising activities.
• Work as a Team: Support your coworkers, share knowledge, and contribute to a positive and welcoming work environment.
• Take Initiative: Look for opportunities to help customers, complete tasks, and keep your department running smoothly without always needing to be asked.
• Put Safety First: Follow store procedures and maintain a safe environment for customers and team members.
• Stay Flexible: Assist with other tasks and departments as needed to support the overall success of the store.

• Previous retail or customer service experience is an asset, but not required.
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required.

We value attitude and potential. You don't need to know everything about our products when you start. We'll help you learn. We're looking for people who are dependable, enthusiastic, willing to pitch in, and committed to making every customer experience a positive one.

Why Join Us?

• Work for a respected Canadian brand with a strong local presence.
• Join a supportive team that values collaboration and customer service.
