General Manager - Retail

At The Wellsville Group, we believe great stores are built by great leaders. As a General Manager, you are the heartbeat—setting the tone, driving performance, and creating an environment where both guests and team members thrive.

This role is ideal for a leader who loves being on the sales floor, developing people, and building a high-performance culture rooted in accountability, trust, and fun. You’ll oversee the showroom, leading a team of Home Furnishing Consultants and store leadership to deliver strong sales results and a true 5-star customer experience.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re searching for a confident, people-first leader who:

• Thrives in a fast-paced retail environment and leads from the front
• Builds engaged, high-performing teams through hiring, coaching, and development
• Is energized by being present on the sales floor and influencing the customer experience in real time
• Creates clarity around expectations, performance, and company initiatives
• Holds themselves and others accountable while fostering a positive, supportive culture

You understand that results come from people—and you’re passionate about helping others grow, succeed, and perform at a high level.

Why This Role Matters

As the General Manager, you are the captain of the ship. Your leadership directly impacts sales performance, team engagement, and the overall success of the showroom. You play a critical role in:

• Driving top-line performance and operational excellence
• Developing future leaders and building a strong succession bench
• Reinforcing company values, strategies, and standards
• Creating a workplace where people feel supported, challenged, and proud to belong

Your presence on the sales floor, commitment to coaching, and ability to read and react to business trends are what separate good stores from great ones.

• Retail leadership experience required; General Manager experience strongly preferred
• Proven ability to drive results through people, coaching, and accountability
• Strong communication skills and comfort leading teams and meetings
• Ability to adapt quickly in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
• Solid organizational and time-management skills
• Comfort using Microsoft Office and modern collaboration tools
• High School Diploma or equivalent required
• Previous store-level retail leadership experience required

Why It’s Worth It:
