Do you love kids’ fashion, great deals, and creating a fun shopping experience? Join Once Upon A Child, North America’s #1 children’s resale franchise, where we make style affordable and sustainable for families every day.
🚀Run the Floor. Lead the Team. Drive Results.
We’re looking for a high-energy leader who wants to run a store like it’s their own—driving sales, developing a team, and creating an exceptional experience for families in a fast-paced resale environment.
At Once Upon A Child, this is not traditional retail. Our inventory changes daily, our customers both shop and sell to us, and no two days look the same. If you thrive on momentum, decision-making, and leading from the front, this role is built for you.
This position is a true leadership role, partnering closely with the General Manager and serving as the person who sets the tone, pace, and performance of the store.

Competitive hourly pay + performance-based incentives
$250 Shopping Spree Bonus after 90 days (20+ hrs/week)
Weekly pay
30%+ employee discount
Paid time off, sick leave, and holidays
Medical reimbursement stipend + 401(k) eligibility

A fast-moving, team-first environment where your impact is visible daily

You will:
Take full ownership of your shifts—leading the team, making decisions, and driving results

🛠Operations & Execution
Own daily operations: opening/closing, cash handling, scheduling support
Evaluate incoming product with confidence and consistency
Ensure strong merchandising and inventory flow at all times
Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient store environment
🚫This Role Is NOT for Everyone
This role is not a fit if you:
Prefer slow-paced or highly structured environments
Avoid holding team members accountable

Wants to grow into a Store Manager role

2+ years leadership or supervisory experience
Proven ability to coach and develop a team
Strong communication and decision-making skills
Comfortable handling cash and store operations
Flexible schedule (weekends and some holidays required)
Ability to stand, move, and lift up to 40 lbs
📈Growth Opportunity
This role is designed as a stepping stone to Store Manager for high performers. If you prove you can lead people and drive results, there is real opportunity to grow.
