Job title:
Store Manager

Who we are:

Savers Value Village is a for-profit global retailer that has become a neighborhood home to millions of thrifters across the U.S., Canada and Australia.

We got our start nearly 70 years ago with a commitment to reuse, and today, our mission is to champion reuse and inspire a future where shopping secondhand is second nature.

We acquire the secondhand merchandise we sell in our stores from our non-profit partners, providing them with critical funding to support their missions.

Over the last 5 years, we have paid our non-profit partners more than $615 million for gently-used, secondhand items dropped off at our stores.

As a leader in reuse, we diverted nearly 600 million pounds of goods from landfills last year alone, extending the life of those reusable items.

We are also committed to recognizing the uniqueness of each of our team members and customers and to building a community where everyone can feel welcome.

We care about your whole health and well-being.
