No two days in our warehouse look the same - and that's exactly how we like it.

One day you might be gathering and staging materials for a brand-new Potbelly shop getting ready to open. The next, you could be packaging individual items for shipping to existing shops, cleaning and organizing the warehouse, or helping prep millwork and materials for finishing.

If you're mechanically minded, enjoy working with your hands, and tackling unique projects, you'll fit right in. Our warehouse team keeps things moving behind the scenes and plays a huge role in helping our shops succeed.

This isn't a sit-at-a-desk-all-day kind of job. It's hands-on, fast-paced, physical work where teamwork, organization, and problem-solving matter. If you like variety, staying busy, and seeing the direct impact of your work, you'll probably love it here.
