What are the responsibilities and job description for the Retail Store Manager position at Legacy Toys?
Legacy Toys is a utopia of toys, games, candy and more — a specialty toy store built to create unique, fun, repeatable experiences for families and kids of all ages. Founded in Minnesota in 2012, we believe a toy store should be somewhere you go to feel something, not just somewhere you buy something. Our team members are part of the experience: we greet warmly, demo and play, share what we love, and send every guest out the door smiling. If you love people, love play, and want to make someone's day — you'll fit right in.
About The Role
As Store Manager, you own the full picture — the experience your guests have, the culture your team lives, and the results your store delivers. Your job is to make sure every visit is an experience, not just a transaction. You'll report to the Director of Operations.
What You'll Own
Game On Us (a free game of your choice each quarter for eligible team members), a 30% employee discount (some brand exclusions), Earned Sick & Safe Time as required by law, paid vacation (Store Managers accrue about 2 weeks/year for full-time), flexible and predictable scheduling, in-store game lending, twice-yearly team swag and events, and a clear path to grow.
Legacy Toys is an equal opportunity employer.
We celebrate diversity and are committed to an inclusive, welcoming workplace for every team member. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law. We provide reasonable accommodations to applicants and employees with disabilities — if you need an accommodation during the application process, please let us know.
