It has been a busy week behind the scenes over at Eat Local Grey Bruce.
They are looking for a full time in-person General Manager to guide ELGB into the next phase of the co-op. They have a renewed commitment to fair wages and are hoping that the proposed compensation will incentivise quality applicants.
The position will remain open until it is filled, but they are starting interviews right away.
From their email to supporters:
We know you’re all excited to hear about our official relaunch date and while we’re eager to get the doors open again, we want to make sure we’ve ironed out the key wrinkles of the past.
And there is progress! Thanks to the wonderful support of Grey County, through the Business Enterprise Centre, we are receiving great guidance from someone with more than 20 years of experience in the local food grocery sector.
Our Grocery Guru has shared critical financial insights, as well as assisted with operations and human resources.
Board members and additional volunteers are also contributing their expertise in accounting, logistics and financial analysis to set us up with a budget, online store, warehouse and delivery routes that work.
While the idea of getting local food to local people is simple in principle, making it happen requires many players and pieces to come together in a finely choreographed dance.
Rest assured, the pieces are coming together and we hope you’ll give us a few more weeks of patience.
It won’t be long now!
