The Role:

The General Manager (GM) is the cultural and operational leader of the store, responsible for building a strong, supportive team and delivering exceptional guest service. The GM oversees all convenience retail, kitchen, and fueling operations, ensuring consistent execution of company standards.

This is a hands-on leadership role where the GM leads by example, jumping in when needed and showing the team what great looks like. At the same time, the GM thoughtfully delegates so everyone can grow and contribute, rather than carrying the workload alone.
