Imagine walking into a store and being greeted by kids' laughter, smiles, a wall of shoes and toys, aisles of colorized clothing, and positive energy! The buy counter becomes a place where you get to shine! You're an essential part of the buying team and will play a pivotal role in determining our store inventory. You will be responsible for evaluating, selecting, and pricing a variety of children's clothing, shoes, toys, books, equipment, and much more efficiently and quickly while adhering to our pricing and buying guidelines.
