THIS POSITION IS FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS OWNERSHIP

We are not looking for someone who simply wants to come in, cut meat, and go home. We want someone who looks at the butcher shop as their department — someone who notices when a display needs attention, when an item needs to be reordered, when a new product could sell, when a customer needs guidance, and when there is an opportunity to make the department better. Haddon Culinary is a chef-driven specialty market offering prepared foods, catering, butcher and seafood selections, specialty grocery, bakery, and more. Our goal is to offer products and a level of personal service that customers cannot get from a conventional supermarket. If you have the experience, leadership ability, and personality to help us build that kind of butcher shop, we'd like to hear from you.
