Retail Store Manager (New Store)
Blenders Eyewear, United States
Job Description
Who We Are:
Fresh from San Diego, California, Blenders Eyewear was founded in 2012 to provide quality products at a great price. Our eyewear is for the pleasure-seekers of the world, the ones who lust for life’s adventure, and the people who will not stop until they find it. We are fueled by the ocean, the culture, and the shot of energy that hums through our little slice of the world.
Blenders sprung to life because a lot of people felt the same way we did. We were sick of paying huge markups for brand name eyewear when we could make the same for better and for a fraction of the cost. So every time you rock your Blendz, we hope they serve as inspiration to take chances. To shoot your shot. To chase your spark! The future is bright at Blenders, and that’s where you come in!
