Assistant Store Manager

The Assistant Bakery Operations Manager (ABOM) is a leadership pipeline role designed to develop the next generation of Bakery Operations Managers. ABOMs are expected to operate at near-BOM level, executing bakery operations with urgency, accuracy, and accountability while building the leadership skills needed to run a bakery independently.

This role blends hands-on operational excellence with talent development, administrative ownership, and team leadership. ABOMs act as a true extension of the BOM and must be capable of stepping into full bakery ownership when needed. Our Lubbock, TX store located at 1301 University Ave, Lubbock, TX 79401.
