At The Wellsville Group, we believe great stores are built by great leaders. As a General Manager, you play a key role in driving showroom performance, developing people, and ensuring an exceptional experience for both guests and team members.

We are flexible! You can either be based out of our Altoona, PA or Johnstown, PA showroom. You’ll work closely with leadership to drive sales performance, coach the team, and support daily showroom operations. You’ll build familiarity with both locations stepping into support when needed.

This role is ideal for a strong, adaptable retail leader who thrives on the sales floor, enjoys developing people, and is motivated by making an impact across multiple teams.
