About American SpoonIn 1982, we began making preserves in our Northern Michigan storefront kitchen. After all these years, our skilled crew still prepares fruit by hand and cooks with care in small-batch copper kettles. We work directly with a dedicated group of Michigan farmers and foragers who grow and gather the unique varieties of fruit we love, prized over generations for unparalleled taste and character. Our small, family-owned company exists, to find, capture, and preserve flavors you simply won’t find anywhere else. Assistant Manager – Traverse City Retail StorePay Range: $20–$22/hour (based on experience)Hours: 24–30 hours/week during slower seasons, up to 40 hours/week in peak seasonsThe RoleWe’re looking for an Assistant Manager to join our Traverse City retail team.
