As an assistant manager, you are the example the entire staff will emulate, so to the extent that you are friendly to customers, kind and respectful to one another, and efficient everyday; that is how your team will be. Keeping the store a place where customers want to shop and where employees want to work, should be one of your top priorities.

Inversely, you need to balance that with ensuring store operations and marketing are running effectively and timely so that sales can grow uninhibited. Ultimately, you are to be a servant leader. If customers are happy, the store will do well, when the store does well, that means the team is succeeding, and when the team is succeeding, then you are too!

Uptown Cheapskate is an exciting retail store concept that sells quality clothing brands at affordable prices. Every month, our franchise stores buy and resell thousands of clothing items that have been gently used at a fraction of the prices originally charged. That's why Uptown Cheapskate is such an effective idea that resonates with customers of every income bracket and style persuasion. Our stores feel more like a boutique than a thrift shop, allowing more people to feel comfortable shopping second-hand.

At Uptown Cheapskate, we have a passion for sustainable fashion. We are dedicated to reducing the impact of the fashion industry on the planet by being green 365 days per year. When you support resale, you're not just being good on your wallet - you're giving back to the environment and contributing to an economy that is sustainable and green.

Since 2015, Uptown Cheapskate has joined forces with Kid to Kid and buildOn across the nation to raise money to build schools in developing countries. With the support of tens of thousands of customers all across the nation, we've far surpassed our initial goal and have raised over $600,000 and funded 18 schools (and counting!). With your help, communities in Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Haiti, Nepal, Malawi, and Nicaragua now have the facilities that they need to educate their children for years to come.
