Our mission is to deliver exceptional value to customers while fostering a culture of independence, integrity, and community impact.

Over the decades, we have expanded to more than 500 locations across the United States, maintaining our reputation as the leading extreme-value grocery retailer. Our continued growth and success are driven by our commitment to innovation, strong supplier relationships, and our independent operator model, which has helped countless business owners achieve financial and personal success.

The Independent Operator Role

  • Financial & Business Acumen
  • Manage financial performance, including sales, margins, expenses, and overall profitability.

  • Customer Experience
  • Create an inviting shopping experience by maintaining a clean, organized, and well-stocked store.

    Benefits :

  • Operational Autonomy : Run your store the way you think is best for your community, employees, and business.
  • Uncapped Earning Potential
  • There is no limit to what you can earn; the more your store sells, the higher your commission payment will be.

  • Control Your Schedule
  • While a full-time commitment is required, you have the flexibility to choose your working hours and manage your own schedule.

  • Corporate Support
  • Receive training, mentorship, and support from marketing, finance, and business professionals to assist with any questions or issues that arise.

    Qualifications :

  • Strong leadership skills and the ability to build and develop a team.
  • Business acumen, including financial and operational management experience.
  • Willingness to relocate and commit to the full training and onboarding process.
  • A drive for success and the ability to work independently while leveraging the support of the Grocery Outlet network.
