Job Description

ARNE is an apparel and footwear brand/retailer based in Birchwood Park near Warrington, UK. We design and develop our products in the UK, manufacture in the near & far east and then ship directly to our customers, via ARNEclo.com. After branching out into Selfridges and following success with our own pop-up shops in the past, we are now excited to announce we are moving into Retail Stores of our own.


We have ambitious plans for the aesthetics and interior of the store, and we're confident that this has never been done anywhere in the world. The level of store fit-out (literally calculated by per square foot) at the price point we sell ARNE is unmatched. Retail and most brands have been greedy, offering at best an average shopping experience, and we want to change that.


Each store, both now and in the future, will embody everything ARNE represents--where it was born and why it was created. It will be branded by the way we see the world and reflect the "Less is MORE" philosophy, with the understated impact we aim to make as the world continues to move towards a "fake it till you make it," flashy way of living. We want our customers to experience the best value in the world, from the products we sell to the store experience itself.


Reporting to our Store Manager you'll be the face of ARNE, engaging with customers in a passionate way. Your role is crucial in helping customers discover our brand, understand our products, and ensure an exceptional shopping experience.


So, if you are creative with a keen eye for detail, have a passion for the fashion industry and want to join us on our exciting journey of opening our first physical store, please apply today!
