Store Manager in Training (SMIT) | Fast-Track to Store Manager | Balanced Schedule 

Already a Store Manager but looking for growth, better balance, or a stronger company? This is your next move.

At City Thrift, we’re not just filling a role—we’re building our next generation of Store Managers and District Leaders. With nearly 40 years of success and continued expansion, we offer stability, growth, and real opportunity.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Fast-track to Store Manager (not a long-term trainee role)
• Primarily weekday schedule (limited weekends)
• Lead and influence a 30–40 person team
• 401k, healthcare, PTO, bonus potential
• Join a growing company with advancement opportunities

Plus: Be part of a mission-driven business that keeps thousands of pounds of goods out of landfills while supporting local communities.

What You’ll Do (and Learn)

• Train alongside Store Leadership with full exposure to store operations
• Learn to own sales, payroll, production, and team performance
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of 30–40 employees
• Drive execution in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
• Build the skills needed to run your own store

Who This Is For

• Current or recent Store Managers ready for more growth
• Leaders from off-price, discount, or thrift retail
• Candidates who want development + a clear path forward (not a dead-end role)

What You Bring

• 4+ years of retail management experience (thrift or off-price strongly preferred)
• Proven ability to lead teams and drive results
• Strong ownership mindset—you want to run your own store
• Ability to thrive in a hands-on, high-volume environment
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred

Bottom Line

If you’re a proven retail leader who wants growth, stability, and a clear path to Store Manager, this is your opportunity.
