In Tornby, we run one of our three second hand stores, along with our production and warehouse.

We receive clothes and items from municipalities, companies, and individuals from all over Östergötland. Through careful sorting and seasonal inventory management, we offer our customers the opportunity to consume sustainably. But our operation is more than just a store – it is a place where sustainability and social responsibility meet. When you shop with us, you contribute to creating opportunities for people to grow. We offer individuals who, for various reasons, are outside the labor market a chance to return through work training, internships, and meaningful employment. Together, we give them new chances in life.

Working as a Store Manager

As a store manager, you have broad leadership responsibilities for your employees, volunteers, and participants. At the same time, you work operationally as a store employee and strive to inspire our customers to purchase and create a positive and rewarding customer experience. You will, among other things:
