Forget everything you think you know about retail. Back in '76, while the world was doing its thing, Sharon Sherman was busy building something different – a side hustle selling clocks and gifts with a whole lot of heart. Fast-forward nearly half a century, and Sherman's has blossomed into four locations packed with home appliances, furniture, and mattresses. Sure, we've grown beyond microwaves, but our family values? Rock solid. Show Concern. Have Fun. Be Helpful. Demonstrate Integrity. Show Ambition. Develop Relationships. These aren't just words on a wall; they're the fuel that keeps us going. Why are we here? Because we're genuinely passionate about our community. We're the neighbors who help you turn houses into homes. And it all started because Sharon dared to be different. We're seeking a Store Manager You will lead our Normal, IL store. But more importantly, you’ll lead people. Yes, you’re responsible for the overall health of the store. But this role isn’t about pushing numbers or chasing transactions. It’s about creating an environment where your team shows up the right way—and because of that, the results follow. What matters most to us? You create a space where people want to work, and because of that, a place people want to shop. You own the in-store experience, making sure every interaction is genuine, helpful, and human. Your team doesn’t “sell.” They listen, guide, and problem-solve.

You know how to create momentum - and sustain it. You Create an Experience People Remember You care about the details, but not for appearance’s sake. For how it makes people feel. A showroom that feels welcoming, not overwhelming A team that listens first and advises second Follow-through that builds trust, not pressure This is where your leadership shows up in real life.

You stay aware of inventory, merchandising, and store flow You partner closely with Operations and Merchandising You make sure the behind-the-scenes work supports what happens on the floor You connect the dots so your team can focus on people.
