Morning Market is a welcoming, corner store showcasing quality seasonal produce, flowers, groceries and baked goods. With corner locations in Gertrude Street, Fitzroy and High Street, Prahran, each store is a hub of convenience for produce usually reserved for restaurants. Street-side seating offers a moment of repose and enjoyment after the daily shop - a meeting place for coffee, lunch or sweet treats to be shared with friends.

Baker Bleu bread is available daily, with cakes, cookies and tarts, salads and sandwiches made in house. Grocery essentials for every day range from local dairy and deli provisions, to pantry essentials, condiments and much more. Both stores offer a wide range of celebrated wine, beers and spirits, and a range of artisan wares for home.

The opportunity:
Morning Market is seeking a strong leader to maintain a positive working culture and oversee all aspects of the day-to-day running of the store. Applicants will have experience leading a team in a retail and / or hospitality environment, with proven success, rigour and humility.
