Job Description

The Commissary Officer position is a pivotal role within the management team of a commissary store, which is a retail food store typically operated by government or large institutional entities to provide groceries, meats, produce, and bakery items to eligible customers at competitive prices. Commissaries are essential establishments that support military personnel, civilian employees, and their families by offering access to quality grocery products in a controlled, well-managed environment. These stores differ from commercial supermarkets as they often operate under specific regulations, policies, and governmental oversight to maintain standards of service, quality, and pricing for their patron base.
