store management

Running a shop

Store management is the oversight of a retail establishment's daily operations—staffing, inventory, customer service, and sales targets.

A store manager handles everything from scheduling employees to ensuring shelves stay stocked: She worked her way up from cashier to store management.

The term covers both the role and the discipline of running a physical retail location effectively.
