Job Description

We are looking for upbeat, friendly, and energetic people to work part-time / full-time in our stores in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

We just have one question, do you have a passion for Wine, Spirits, or Gourmet Foods? If the answer is yes, please read on!

P / T and F / T

• Wine Sales Specialist
• Spirit Sales Specialist
• Deli and Gourmet Specialist
• Cashiers
• Stockers

Is our company for you?

If you answered yes to the above, that’s a great start, you may be the right person for the job. You don’t need to be an expert, just an enthusiast with a willingness and interest to learn more and put that knowledge to use.

Personable? We aren’t big box retail stores where you will sit at a register all day, rather we like to think of ourselves as Neighborhood Shops where you will work with locals as they walk in, get to know them by name, introduce them to new things, and have a friendly conversation.

Versatile? Sometimes you will be hand-selling a customer a bottle of wine, next, you may be asked to set up a display of a new product, then you might need to work our artisan deli and prepare some cheese for your customer.

It is an ever-changing dynamic in the stores and we would love someone who isn’t afraid to take on a challenge and learn a new skill!

Why work with us?

Crown and Mega have been serving South Florida’s neighborhoods since 1955 and we take pride in our communities and the people that live in them.

We are more like a close-knit family than a group of employees. In that spirit we ask ourselves : What can we give you and why should you come here to work?

• A friendly work environment with a competitive hourly rate, plus the ability for the go-getters to make more.
• Meet great like-minded people who share your passion for Wine, Bourbon, Scotch, Fine Cheese, etc.
• Tastings, training, and seminars where you can expand your knowledge.
• Try interesting new products and attend exclusive wine, spirit, and culinary events.
• PTO and benefits programs are available based on PT / FT position.
• Opportunity for advancement to management or other specialty positions.
• Best of all, great employee discounts on products you already drink, eat and indulge in. Who doesn’t want a discount on their favorite Chardonnay, Whiskey or Charcuterie plate?

Who is the perfect new addition to the Crown Family?

We are always looking for great people whether they are full-time, part-time, or seasonal. That said it doesn’t matter if you are a recent college grad looking to break into the workforce full time, a recent retiree looking for part-time that just wants to share their wisdom and love for wine, or anything in between, we just want friendly and dedicated people who share our passion for the finer things.

Resumes Encouraged but it would be great if you could write 2 or 3 sentences on why we would be a great fit together and why you want to work at Crown.

How and why do you and Crown Wine and Spirits benefit each other? We look forward to hearing from you!
