Operations Manager

Working at Love?s as an Operations Manager is a very different job. We work hard for our customers and our teams. As a manager at Love?s, we empower you to be owner-operators and allow you to manage all aspects of your location. With a growing organization, the opportunities for career growth are endless. There?s no better time to join Love?s!

Our Managers Go Beyond the Call of Duty

Operations Managers are in a unique position. You are not only involved in the store, but the restaurant and tire care operations too. You?ll ensure our teams are focusing on the customer in everything we do. Sometimes it?s just a smile, other times it will be listening to their feedback and adjusting accordingly. Customers come back because of your team?s performance! When you persevere, we all are rewarded.

We have a lot to offer.

• Competitive Salary
• Quarterly Bonus
• 401(K) Savings Plan
• Group Health Plan including Life Insurance
• Dental Benefits
• Vacation

What to expect.

You will run the store, restaurant and tire care concepts in a Love?s Travel Stop location. You?ll be working in a fast-paced environment. One moment you?ll be in the store, the next minute you may be helping out in the tire care, and then jumping on the line to help out in the restaurant. It will be your job to make sure we promote sales growth through merchandise execution, ensuring your teams are well trained and delivering world-class service in the location to deliver on "Clean Places, Friendly Faces."

To get started, we have to ask a few questions.

If you?re good with our requirements, we?d really like to hear from you.

• Can you work flexible shifts—including nights, weekends, and holidays?
• Do you have 2 or more years in retail, travel stop or c-store, big box, grocery, or department store management experience?
