Job description

Assistant Manager Uptown Cheapskate Durham

Do you live and breathe fashion? Are you organized, responsible, and have a desire to lead by example? Then working at Uptown Cheapskate as an assistant manager is JUST what you are looking for!

Uptown Cheapskate is a buy‑sell‑trade fashion store for young adults. We carry thousands of mall and luxury brands at up to 80% off regular retail prices. We aim to make fashion more sustainable by giving life to gently used clothes and shoes that aren’t being worn anymore.

We’re looking for a full‑time Assistant Manager to join our team. Leadership experience is appreciated, but not required. We are looking for people with the ability to lead, the willingness to learn, and the commitment to improve our store performance. Our store is part of a network of Uptown locations, and we love to promote and grow from within.

Responsibilities:

• Provide excellent customer service and encourage employees to do the same
• Assist in the training of existing and new staff, demonstrating quality work to lead by example
• Managing back stock and inventory
• Make multiple daily posts on our social media pages (reels, posts, and stories)
• Presort and buy incoming clothes, shoes and accessories brought in from vendors (people from the community who want to sell to us)
• Organize racks, merchandise clothing, tag and process product
• Ring out customers on the register and teach them how to sell to us
• Monthly sales bonus potential
• 401(k) eligibility

Compensation: $14.00 - $16.00 per hour

Do you know fashion? Do you love finding a great deal? Are you committed to sustainability? If so, come join the Uptown Cheapskate Team! We are looking for friendly, highly motivated people to join our crew of Fashion Consultants.

Uptown Cheapskate is an exciting retail store concept that sells quality clothing brands at affordable prices. Every month, our franchise stores buy and resell thousands of clothing items that have been gently used at a fraction of the prices originally charged. That’s why Uptown Cheapskate is such an effective idea that resonates with customers of every income bracket and style persuasion. Our stores feel more like a boutique than a thrift shop, allowing more people to feel comfortable shopping second‑hand.

At Uptown Cheapskate, we have a passion for sustainable fashion. We are dedicated to reducing the impact of the fashion industry on the planet by being green 365 days per year. When you support resale, you’re not just being good on your wallet - you’re giving back to the environment and contributing to an economy that is sustainable and green.

Since 2015, Uptown Cheapskate has joined forces with Kid to Kid and buildOn across the nation to raise money to build schools in developing countries. With the support of tens of thousands of customers all across the nation, we’ve far surpassed our initial goal and have raised over $600,000 and funded 18 schools (and counting!). With your help, communities in Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Haiti, Nepal, Malawi, and Nicaragua now have the facilities that they need to educate their children for years to come.

This franchise is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this franchisee. All inquiries about employment at this franchisee should be made directly to the franchise location, and not to BaseCamp Franchising Corporate.
