Assistant Store Manager - Rockford, IL

The first Family Dollar store was opened in Charlotte, NC in 1959. It was a relatively small, self-service operation located in a neighborhood convenient to low and middle income consumers. The merchandise assortment featured basic goods for family and home needs, and the no frills, low overhead, cash-and-carry environment provided good value at the lowest price points. As new stores opened in the early years of the Company's existence, it became clear that this merchandising concept filled a niche in the marketplace and held great promise for supporting a chain of much larger size.

Assist the Store Manager in the overall efficient and profitable operation of the store (stores range in size from 6,000 to 8,000 square feet), and supervision of store staff to that end. Responsibilities include customer service and assisting in the control and supervision of the sales area, assisting in the control of incoming and outgoing merchandise, assisting in the proper ordering of merchandise, assisting in coordinating merchandise activities for sales promotions in the area of merchandise display and pricing, assisting in monitoring cash flow and budgeting, assisting in implementing weekly work schedules, and assisting in the hiring, development and training of staff.
