Store Supervisor

Ace Liquor Discounter, part of SNDL Inc, is expanding its Alberta footprint with more than 130 locations across the province. They stock wines from around the world, plus local and international beers and specialty spirits, all at everyday low prices. The Store Supervisor role is based onsite at Ace Liquor Discounter in Canmore and is a full-time position that suits someone who enjoys leading a team, keeping daily operations running smoothly, and delivering a friendly, knowledgeable shopping experience for customers.

SNDL is one of Canada’s leading liquor and cannabis companies, with a broad portfolio of banners and a focus on growth and strong guest experiences. The Ace Liquor Discounter team in Canmore seeks a motivated individual who can help steer operations, mentor staff, and ensure both compliance with industry rules and a welcoming store environment. If you’re drawn to retail leadership in a fast-moving setting and enjoy helping customers find great options at good value, this could be a good fit.

A day in the life on the shop floor

As Store Supervisor, you’ll help ensure the store runs efficiently while customers receive courteous and informed service. You’ll lead and support team members to maintain smooth operations, model a professional and coachable approach, and foster a sense of ownership among the staff. You’ll also help with product rollouts, promotions, and inventory activities, coordinating how new items and deals are presented and stocked. ID verification and adherence to Alberta liquor laws and company policies are part of daily practice, and you’ll assist with cash handling and working toward financial targets while keeping the environment clean, safe, and organized.

The essentials you’ll need to bring

Here’s what the team is looking for, reworded from the original requirements:

• At least one year working in a retail setting
• At least one year in a supervisory or leadership role
• ProServe certification is required or you’re willing to obtain it
• Ability to lift up to 40 pounds and stay on your feet for a long shift
• Strong communication skills, reliability, and a teamwork mindset
• Comfort with a fast-moving environment and shifting priorities

Pay, benefits and practical details

The opportunity is full-time and onsite in Canmore, Alberta. Ace Liquor Discounter offers employee discounts on products across all banners, plus flexible scheduling options. Team members receive hands-on product knowledge training and benefit from a supportive and inclusive work environment that encourages growth within the company.

Tips for applicants you can put into action

First, lead with your retail and supervisory experience right at the top of your resume. If you’ve managed a team, describe the size of the crew you led, how you supported daily operations, and how you helped hit or exceed targets. If you’ve earned a ProServe certificate, mention it prominently or note your plan to obtain it if you’re not yet certified.

Next, demonstrate you can prove you have the must-have skills. Share concrete examples of how you’ve guided a team to deliver friendly, knowledgeable service, managed inventory during promotions or rollouts, and handled cash with accuracy. If you’ve helped ensure compliance with liquor laws in your prior role, include a brief outcome or metric.

For interviews, be ready to discuss how you would handle a busy shift with changing priorities, how you’ve supported product rollouts, and how you’ve maintained a safe and welcoming store environment during peak times. Bring notes on a time you successfully balanced customer service with policy compliance and a cash-handling scenario you’re comfortable describing.

A smart question to ask the team: how they structure scheduling to support promotions and product launches, and what they see as the biggest opportunity to improve guest experience in the Canmore store. You could also inquire about the path to advancement within the Ace banner network and how training translates into leadership opportunities.
