Store managers are responsible for supervising employees and running their store at a
profit. To attract a clientele and move merchandise, managers make sure that their store
offers products and services that satisfy the needs and desires of their customers.
Store managers are employed by general merchandise stores, such as department stores
and so-called "big box" stores, and by specialty stores, such as super-markets and
sporting goods outlets. The duties of a manager vary with the store's structure and method
of operation. Some stores are part of a chain that has a central office and branch outlets.
Chain operations require general managers to oversee branch managers, who in turn
oversee the managers for each of the outlets. Other stores are independently owned and
operated.
The duties of store managers also depend on the size and type of store for which they
work. The business aspects of a store can be divided into four categories: merchandising,
which includes buying and selling; store operations, which includes hiring personnel and
receiving goods; accounting and bookkeeping; and advertising and promotion. In some
storesgenerally independent onesstore managers are involved in all of these areas. In
a small gift shop, for example, the manager may buy the merchandise, sell it to
customers, and do the bookkeeping. The same manager may also train sales workers and
write advertising copy.
The manager of a large store, on the other hand, is usually involved in setting policy that
will be carried out by division heads. Large independent stores often divide management
duties among three or four executives. A typical management team featuring division
heads might consist of a store manager, an operations manager, a controller, and an
advertising manager.
In chain operations managers are usually supervised by area representatives from the
central office. Merchandise for all retail store outlets is purchased by a central buying
office. Branch managers of outlet stores order only through this central office.
Accounting for the whole chain is also handled at a central office. Store managers do
their ordering and submit bookkeeping forms or sales reports electronically by computer.
