Searching for that perfect someone to oversee our day to day operations under the guidance of our owner/operator. In consistent operation with only two owners since 1934, the historic Good Hart General Store is currently seeking a motivated, dedicated, passionate professional to manage our daily goings-on. Located on Michigan's famous Tunnel of Trees north of Harbor Springs, and south of Mackinaw City, we are open six days/week during the off season and seven days/week May through October with October being our busiest time of the year.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the overall daily operation of the store including the retail storefront, office (USPO), e-commerce sales, and kitchen departments. Ideal candidates will have experience in at least one applicable area such as retail, management, human resources, foodservice, or hospitality. Must be exceptionally detail oriented, capable of consistent multitasking, and interested in adapting to a changing work landscape.

Most important will be a willingness to learn, and the ability to thrive in a fast paced setting. Our store manager's responsibilities extends far beyond our store, and spills out regularly into the community. We house the lost dogs, assist with the flat tires, recommend the plow drivers, give directions to the beach, suggest the best nature preserve and more. This is in addition to making the pot pies, baking the cookies, checking in the renters, ordering the beer, selling the t-shirts, and processing the daily mail. We do it all!

If you are passionate about a unique experience in a flexible environment with exponential potential for growth including profit sharing, this is a wonderful opportunity for you.
