“We are looking for motivated, outstanding performers that are interested in a fast-paced environment that allows creativity, autonomy, collaboration and execution,” Scot Olson, Director of Produce and Floral, tells me. “We believe in a culture that values excellence in performance while emphasizing family values and having fun while doing it.”
The retailer is also currently engaged in a very aggressive expansion strategy in all six states where they operate.
"We are actively pursuing various other new markets with a vision of a potentially nationwide scope in the near future,” Scot adds.
Grocery Outlet's growth is powered in part by Hellman & Friedman, a private equity firm that acquired Grocery Outlet in September 2014.
Serving bargain seeking customers since 1946, the privately held company generates annual revenues exceeding $1.5 billion and employs approximately 1,000 people across the US. The Grocery Outlet Bargain Market brand currently includes over 220 independently operated stores in California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Pennsylvania; in large and small cities and in a variety of neighborhoods throughout the country.
