Store Manager, Retail & Store Manager

Buggy Busters isn't your average retail store; we are one of the most remarkable extreme discount treasure hunts out there. With a headquarters in Douglasville, GA and locations in Hickory, NC and Morganton, NC our business relies on moving massive volumes of liquidated merchandise at breakneck speeds through our high-stakes online auctions and our famous "bins". For our customers, it’s a highly competitive game where they dig for incredible deals on everything from electronics to home goods as prices drop daily.

For our team, this means stepping into a fast-paced work environment. If you are like a dynamics, "start-up" culture where everyone has potential to make a big impact, this is the place for you!

Buggy Busters is hiring a Store Manager to lead retail and auction floor operations at our Douglasville location — our highest-volume site, generating eight figures in annual revenue. This is a front-line leadership role for someone who leads by example: you’ll be on the floor during the hours that matter, working a schedule that matches the business (Monday–Saturday, including evenings when the nightly auction goes live), and building a team that delivers a great customer experience every day the doors are open.

If you’re looking for a desk job, this isn’t it. If you want to run a high-volume retail operation where your presence and standards directly drive the numbers, this is built for you.

• Full leadership of Retail Auction operations — the nightly setup/teardown crew that stages merchandise to the sales floor, and the Host/Checkout team that runs the customer experience.
• Oversight of the Bin Room.
• Customer satisfaction, sales performance, and margin across the retail floor.
• Building, coaching, and holding accountable a team of supervisors, team leads, and hourly staff — roughly 20 people today and growing.
• Partnering with the site’s Operations Manager on shared building priorities: closing procedures, security, and facility standards.

• Genuine customer-first leadership — you want to be on the floor with your team and your customers, not behind a desk.
• Proven retail management experience in a high-volume environment; auction, liquidation, or off-price retail background is a strong plus.
• Willingness to work a 6-day schedule and be present during peak hours, including evenings.
• A track record of holding a team to real standards — leading from the front, not managing from behind.
• Comfort managing through a layer of supervisors and team leads while staying hands-on when the floor needs it.
