Are You the Right Fit?

• Proper Sport Obsessive: Whether you’re a local club runner, a Sunday League regular, or a dedicated athlete, you live and breathe the culture.

• Retail Savvy: You’ve likely worked on a shop floor before. You know how to talk to customers and how to land a sale.

• High Energy: You’re the person who lifts the mood the moment you walk into the store.
