About Liquor Plus

Liquor Plus is a locally-owned liquor retailer built on great product, great people, and genuine customer experience. We make shopping for beer, wine, and spirits feel approachable and welcoming. Our stores are fast-paced, island -focused, and team-driven places where service standards are high and the culture is supportive.

Who We're Looking For

You're a people leader who embodies high standards and understands what it takes to build and nurture a team. You're operationally sharp and can spot the high performers, and quickly highlight any service and system inefficiencies, and the areas needing problem-solving.
