BSV Is Now Hiring

Thanks for your interest in Blue Suede Vintage! We already received an overwhelming number of submissions for our part-time opening and have closed applications. If we happen to reopen them, we will let you know via our Instagram!

Blue Suede Vintage is hiring retail help, primarily to work Fridays 12-5pm in our midtown shop location in the Broad Ave Arts District. Thursday, Saturday and/or Sunday availability at the same time is a plus. 

Ideally, we want to hire someone who is interested in entrepreneurship, shop ownership, and/or secondhand fashion. If you're open to helping out with some of the behind-the-scenes work of running our shop, mentorship and training are available to you!

Required Skills

  • An appreciation for vintage
  • Previous customer-facing work or internship experience
  • Attention to detail
  • A good attitude and sense of humor
  • Ability to lift 30+ pounds and stand for extended periods; you must be able to lift and set up our portable ramp for ADA-accessibility

Preferred Skills

  • Retail, especially vintage/resale shop experience
  • Shopify POS
  • Social media
  • Public relations
  • Event planning
  • Merchandising

Duties May Include (but are not limited to)

  • Greeting & assisting customers
  • Store opening & closing, including light cleaning
  • Prepping and tagging merchandise
  • Operating Shopify point of sale, taking customer payments
  • Reorganizing & general store merchandising
  • Resolving customer complaints with kindness and tact

The Fun Stuff

  • Pay starts at $15/hr, depending on experience.
  • You'll receive 30% off one Blue Suede Vintage item of your choice for each week worked.
  • This will start as a retail sales role but has the opportunity to grow into more, depending on your interests! Again, we would love to bring someone on that we can mentor and teach.

The store is located at 485 N Hollywood, Memphis TN 38112, around the corner from Broad Ave. Free parking is available, and you must be able to provide your own reliable transportation. Unfortunately, our building is old and not ADA-accessible without assistance.

Attention to detail is key, so if you've made it this far, please let me know your favorite band/artist in your application email :)

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, until the position is filled.
