Retail Sales Associate (Specialty Food Store)

Not your average retail job! We value & encourage free, creative minds, a "can do" attitude, honesty, dependability, love for food & a willingness to learn. We are independently owned & operated. We are the oldest family owned & operated Olive Oil Company in the U.S. There is room for REAL GROWTH, as we are expanding.

We provide the public with premium extra virgin olive oils, balsamic vinegar, and unique tasting experience. We personally source or make all of our offerings and work in close cooperation with farmers, chefs, producers, artisans, scientists, scholars and industry experts in order to provide the public with products that are unique & healthy.

We are seeking part time Sales Associates that love to interact & chat with people in a customer-focused retail environment. Everything in our shop is available for tasting, (very much like a tasting room at a winery). Sales Associates provide customers with education and advice on product selection while providing friendly and efficient service. Additional responsibilities include cash handling, stocking shelves and replenishing inventory and general cleaning of the store. We provide fun, hands on training but a love of food is always a plus.

Qualified candidates are outgoing, well spoken, professional and polite, responsible and reliable, and capable of multi-tasking without sacrificing customer service. Customer service is our top priority.

Candidates must be able to lift a minimum of 25 pounds and stand for the majority of a shift.

Knowledge of, or interest in, cooking, quality dining, olive oil or gourmet food is desired. The ideal applicant will have at least one year service/retail experience. This is the perfect job for a passionate foodie! Compensation is above average for retail associates, with frequent opportunities for review and pay increase & a killer employee discount.

If this sounds like a good fit for you, please reply to this email and tell us a little something special about yourself! Share you favorite dish or recipe with olive oil or balsamic and provide your complete availability (including scheduled/planned vacations).
