Print fresh, the Philadelphia lifestyle brand known for joyful, hand-painted prints, is opening a cafe and retail flagship designed to feel joyful and memorable, and we're looking for a hands-on Experiential Retail Lead to bring it to life. You'll be equal parts operator, curator, host, and merchant: leading day-to-day cafe and retail operations while creating the events, displays, and thoughtful details that make people linger and return.
You'll run the business with an owner's mindset, build a warm, energetic culture that keeps people coming back, and grow into a multi-store leadership role as we expand.
- Lead daily operations:
Own open/close, scheduling, inventory, visual upkeep, and cafe quality — keeping the space warm and intentional every day. - Own the business:
Partner with the operations team on budgets and priorities, and hit sales goals across coffee and product.
- Program & host:
Run community events (workshops, needlepoint nights, watercolor, reading clubs) and make the cafe experience buzzworthy enough to share. - Hospitality that sticks:
Support live shopping and in-store content, and deliver genuine, no-pressure hospitality that turns walk‑ins into regulars and regulars into superfans.
- Style the mix:
Curate a layered mix of core products, seasonal collections, gifts, and artwork — compelling but mindful of flow and sell‑through. - Support buying:
Help the buying team select gift and 3rd-party merchandise for the store and online.
- Lead the team:
Hire, train, schedule, and inspire a team that loves showing up — teaching them to tell the Print fresh story and host with warmth. - Shape what's next:
Document what works and share insights to inform future Print fresh stores — your path to Director of Retail.
- 3–6+ years in retail, hospitality, experiential marketing, boutiques, concept stores, or cafe/restaurant leadership
- Experience opening or operating a store, pop‑up, cafe, or community space strongly preferred
- Proven experience supervising staff and managing schedules (required)
- Strong aesthetic eye and a genuine love of merchandising, selling, and hosting
- Organized, resourceful, and calm in a fast‑paced, still‑being‑built environment
- Comfortable flexing between styling a display, running an event, solving inventory, and helping a customer
- Health and dental insurance
- PTO and paid holidays
- 401(k) with company match
- Employee discount on all Print fresh products
