General Manager

Job description:

General Manager – VP of Sales and Operations

Stu’s Home Improvement Outlet | Dubuque, IA

Stu’s Home Improvement Outlet is not traditional retail.

We are a high-volume, fast-moving outlet specializing in appliances, furniture, flooring, and home improvement products — and we are growing fast. Our mission is simple: move inventory, create urgency, serve customers well, and reinvest in our community.

We are seeking a hands-on General Manager to run day-to-day operations, lead sales performance, and execute marketing initiatives that drive traffic and revenue. This role exists so the owner can step out of daily operations — and it comes with real authority and real accountability.

What You’ll Do

Lead the Store

  • Own daily store operations and performance
  • Be present on the sales floor — this is not a desk job
  • Set expectations, hold accountability, and build a winning culture
  • Schedule, coach, and manage a sales team focused on closing

Drive Sales Performance

  • Coach sales staff on:
  • Closing techniques
  • Customer follow-up
  • Upselling and attachments
  • Step in to help close higher-value sales when needed
  • Track and improve KPIs such as revenue, average ticket, and close rate

Execute Marketing That Drives Traffic

  • Execute campaigns across:
  • Facebook & Marketplace
  • Google
  • Radio / Billboard coordination
  • Ensure promotions are:
  • Clear
  • Timely
  • Accurate
  • Reflected in-store with signage and pricing urgency
  • Work with ownership on campaign planning — then own execution

Inventory & Merchandising Oversight

  • Ensure the sales floor is:
  • Clean
  • Organized
  • Priced correctly
  • Sell-ready
  • Manage inventory aging and pricing urgency
  • Coordinate with warehouse and receiving teams

Own the Numbers

  • Hit revenue and margin targets
  • Control labor costs
  • Track inventory turns
  • Report weekly performance metrics to ownership

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

  • Retail management or store leadership experience
  • Strong sales background (appliances, furniture, flooring, automotive, or big-ticket retail preferred)
  • Proven ability to coach people and drive results
  • Comfortable executing marketing — not just talking about it

You Are

  • A closer and a coach
  • Comfortable making decisions
  • Organized and accountable
  • Not afraid of pace, volume, or responsibility
  • Someone who wants ownership-level impact without owning the business (yet)

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary: $100,000 + (based on experience)
  • Performance Bonus: Up to $25,000 annually (paid quarterly)
  • Long-Term Incentive: Phantom equity / profit participation tied to performance
  • Growth Opportunity: Role expands as the company grows

This position offers real upside for the right leader.

Why Stu’s?

  • Explosive growth
  • Clear expectations
  • No corporate red tape
  • Real authority
  • A business that gives back to the community

If you are tired of being capped, boxed in, or underutilized — this role is for you.

Apply with your resume and a brief note explaining why you’re a fit for a fast-paced retail leadership role.
