Job Description
Piggly Wiggly Midwest LLC is a well-established grocery store chain with over 100 years of experience in the grocery business. Operating across the Midwest, South, and Northeast of the United States, Piggly Wiggly offers a unique shopping experience that combines the extensive selection and assortment of a national chain with the personalized service and local customization of a community-based retailer. The company operates through a combination of corporate stores and independent franchisees under a chain-style model managed by C&S Wholesale Grocers, LLC. This model ensures each store caters specifically to the needs and preferences of its local shoppers by including specialized local assortments, thereby fostering customer loyalty and a strong community presence.
The company prides itself on its commitment to equal opportunity employment and affirms affirmative action for qualified individuals with disabilities and protected veterans, complying with applicable federal laws. Piggly Wiggly’s reputation for quality, service, and community-oriented business practices makes it a respected employer within the grocery retail sector.
The role of Deli Manager at Piggly Wiggly involves comprehensive management responsibilities dedicated to overseeing the deli department within the store located at 4011 Durand Ave, Racine, WI. This full-time position requires a dynamic individual who can efficiently direct and supervise all deli personnel, ensuring that all departmental functions meet sales and profit goals established by the company. The manager plays a critical role in aligning staff shifts and operational activities to maximize the store’s financial interests.
Deli Managers are responsible for strict adherence to federal, state, and local regulations as well as company policies regarding operations, safety, and sanitation within the deli department. This includes overseeing the meticulous processing and preparation of deli products, ensuring product quality through proper packaging, and maintaining a sanitary and organized work environment. The position demands a balance of customer service excellence—accurately taking customer orders and promoting sales through courteous interaction—and administrative duties such as inventory management, order fulfillment, paperwork completion, and personnel scheduling.
The role also emphasizes leadership qualities including staff selection, training, development, and scheduling, fostering a productive work environment. Responsibilities extend to minimizing shrinkage and supply expenses while maximizing gross profits. Although the physical workspace is a grocery warehouse with temperatures ranging between 50F to 90F, the role requires physical stamina involving lifting, carrying loads, standing, stooping, crouching, and other movements necessary for managing deli operations.
The Deli Manager shift varies and includes morning, day, and evening options depending on store needs, with the schedule finalized upon interview. Prior experience in retail or deli operations is preferred, and basic computer skills, along with the ability to perform elementary math functions, are essential for success in this position. The role is ideal for individuals who are organized, attentive to detail, customer-focused, and capable of leading a team effectively to meet and exceed departmental and store goals.
