This is a working manager position.

Why this role matters
The Store Manager owns the result.
A strong location doesn't happen by accident. Someone has to connect the people, customers, cars, sales, workflow and standards into one operation. That's you.
When sales are strong, understand why.
When sales are weak, take action.
When car count is low, help create business.
When the shop is backed up, fix the workflow.
When quality slips, address it.
When an employee needs coaching, coach them.
When a customer has a problem, help solve it.
When the store needs leadership, lead.
This is a working management position.
You are not managing from an office. You are expected to be present in the operation:
The responsibility doesn't belong to "somebody."
It belongs to the Store Manager.

Growth creates opportunity.

Great companies don't grow without great Store Managers.
Maybe you're one of ours.
Where could this go?
Where Could This Go?
Running a strong store can be the beginning of something much bigger.
If you can consistently lead people, develop a team, build car count, drive sales, protect quality and produce results, there may be opportunities to take on greater responsibility as BFL grows.
Not everybody wants to leave the store level.
That's okay. A great Store Manager who loves building a strong team and operating a high-performing location is extremely valuable.
Advancement isn't automatic.
It comes from demonstrated ability, leadership, results, qualifications, business needs and available opportunities.
Build a store people want to work in.
Build a store customers want to come back to.
Build a store that performs.
Then let's see how far you can go.
Potential franchise ownership is a separate opportunity subject to qualification, applicable franchise requirements, required disclosures and approval.
Can You Actually Run the Store?
And when something goes wrong:
Can you own it?
We're not looking for someone who just wants the title Store Manager.
We're looking for someone who wants the responsibility that comes with it.
Lead the people.
Drive the business.
Own the result.
