Store Manager

Brick's Hardware & Building Supply • Full-time • Hortonville, Wisconsin, United States • $50k - $65k / year • 1w ago

Full-Time | $50,000 -$65,000 annually | Immediate Opening | Full Benefits

Job Summary

Brick’s Hardware & Building Supply is looking for a high-energy, hands-on Store Manager to lead the day-to-day operation of our full-service hardware and building supply store in downtown Hortonville, Wisconsin.

For more than 11 years, Brick’s has served Hortonville and the surrounding communities as a trusted local resource for hardware, household goods, home services, building supplies, seasonal products, and our full-service greenhouse.

We are looking for someone who wants a career and more than simply managing a schedule and keeping the doors open.

We want someone who takes initiative.

Someone who sees an opportunity and acts on it. Someone who has ideas, improves processes, develops people, builds relationships with customers, and takes pride in making the business better.

Brick’s offers the atmosphere of a small-town, locally operated business with meaningful opportunities to grow. You will have a genuine voice in how the store operates and room to make decisions.

Good ideas are welcomed here. Decisive initiative is rewarded.

What You Will Own

The Store Manager is the leader responsible for the day-to-day administration and operating rhythm of Brick’s.

You will coordinate the schedule, inventory, systems, vendors, and priorities that keep the store operating effectively.

Your responsibilities will include:

Leading the day-to-day operation and administration of the store
Maintaining appropriate store coverage
Managing routine purchasing, inventory replenishment, and receiving
Establishing clear daily and weekly priorities for the team
Maintaining organized, accurate, and repeatable store procedures
Reviewing store performance and identifying opportunities for improvement
Ensuring the store remains clean, organized, safe, stocked, and ready for customers
Communicating significant operating needs, opportunities, and decisions directly with ownership

Epicor Eagle Experience Is a Major Plus

Brick’s operates on Epicor Eagle, and experience using Eagle in a hardware, building supply, lumber, or similar retail environment would be extremely valuable.

We are especially interested in candidates who understand how to use a retail management system for purchasing, replenishment, receiving, inventory management, customer accounts, pricing, reporting, and day-to-day store administration.

If you already know Epicor Eagle, we want to hear from you.

Epicor experience is not required for an exceptional candidate who has strong retail operating experience and the ability to learn systems quickly.

Who Will Thrive at Brick's

This opportunity is particularly well suited to someone who is naturally proactive.

You don’t wait for someone to tell you that something needs attention. You notice it, understand it, and take responsibility for getting it resolved.

You enjoy having autonomy and accountability.

You like developing a team, but you are also comfortable jumping in and helping a customer, receiving an order, solving an inventory problem, answering the phone, or helping on the sales floor when the business needs it.

You bring energy to work.

You communicate clearly and follow through.

You enjoy working somewhere that is connected to the community and where customers become familiar faces.

And you want your ideas and judgment to actually matter.

Experience That Will Make You Stand Out

Retail-management experience is strongly preferred. Experience in hardware, building materials, lumber, home improvement, agricultural supply, automotive parts, lawn and garden, or another inventory-intensive retail environment is particularly relevant.

Strong candidates may also bring experience with employee scheduling, purchasing, inventory management, replenishment, receiving, POS/ERP systems, vendor relationships, customer-service leadership, merchandising, or store operations.

A college degree is not required. We care substantially more about operating ability, leadership, judgment, initiative, reliability, and results.

The Opportunity

Brick’s is a locally operated business where the Store Manager can have a visible impact.

You will have direct access to ownership rather than multiple layers of management. You will be encouraged to identify opportunities, recommend improvements, test ideas, and help determine how the business develops.

As Brick’s grows, there is opportunity for the right person to grow with it and take on broader responsibility.

We are looking for someone who wants to be part of that growth rather than simply occupy a position.

Schedule

This is a full-time leadership position.

The Store Manager will generally work a daytime operating and administrative schedule, with flexibility based on the needs of the business.

Brick’s uses a rotating leadership schedule for weekends. The Store Manager will share weekend leadership responsibility with our Morning and Afternoon/Evening Shift Leaders, generally resulting in approximately one leadership weekend out of every three, with weekday schedules adjusted accordingly.

The goal is a sustainable leadership schedule—not simply adding weekend hours to a normal workweek.

Compensation & Benefits

$50,000–$65,000 annually, depending on experience.

Compensation may be positioned toward the top of the range for candidates bringing highly relevant hardware/building-supply management experience, strong operating expertise, or Epicor Eagle experience.

Brick’s also offers competitive benefits, an attractive employee discount, schedule flexibility, significant operating autonomy, direct interaction with ownership, and meaningful opportunities for professional growth.

Why Brick’s?

There is something different about running a good local hardware store.

Customers come in because they need help solving a real problem. Contractors stop in because they need something to keep a job moving. Neighbors recognize each other. Employees know the customers. The store is part of the community it serves.

We want to preserve that small-town character while continuing to make Brick’s a stronger business.

If you are a high-energy self-starter who loves taking initiative, has ideas, enjoys leading people, and wants the freedom to make a meaningful contribution, we should talk.

This position is available immediately.

Pay: $50,000.00 - $65,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
Employee discount
Health insurance
Paid time off
Retirement plan
