Background

About Brian Mares

I am a seasoned store manager with 10+ years of operations management and business development experience in the retail and food sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for leading successful stores, as well as for building client-focused teams and delivering excellent customer service, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded budgetary and performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include managing the process of transitioning Doc’s Food Inc from a single-privately owned store to small corporate ownership, and taking an Alco Store from the bottom 25% in company to the top 15 overall. Delivering superior administration on these areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, business acumen, systems analysis, project management and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Store Director with Sprouts Farmers Market. Under my leadership, I oversee the operations of a $20M store. I scrutinize daily operations to identify processes and procedures that require change in order to optimize productivity and profitability. I also manage all financial aspects of the company, assessing controllable expenses, budgets, and P&L. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, personnel, and clients to ensure the company’s operational support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, operational and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget. I am pursuing new opportunities and can be reached through this profile.
