About Gym Store Nigeria

Gym Store Nigeria provides commercial and residential fitness solutions, supplying exercise equipment for individuals, athletes and fitness businesses.

The company describes its focus as providing high-performance fitness equipment for different customer needs. This Store Manager position supports the day-to-day operation of the company’s store in Yaba, Lagos, combining team supervision, stock management and customer service.

For someone with experience coordinating retail or store operations, the role offers an opportunity to take responsibility for both people and inventory.

About the Store Manager Role

The Store Manager will oversee the daily running of the store and help ensure that operations remain organised and customer-focused.

The position involves managing inventory, supervising team members, monitoring performance and maintaining the expected standards within the store.

The successful candidate will also be expected to help the team meet its targets while ensuring customers receive a satisfactory experience.

Key Responsibilities

The Store Manager will be responsible for:

• Overseeing daily store operations.
• Leading, training and motivating members of the store team.
• Managing inventory and maintaining effective stock control.
• Monitoring store performance and working toward assigned targets.
• Maintaining appropriate store standards.
• Supporting good customer satisfaction.
• Ensuring that day-to-day activities are properly organised.

The role combines store management, team leadership and inventory control, so candidates should be comfortable handling several operational responsibilities at the same time.

What the Employer Is Looking For

The vacancy does not specify a particular academic qualification or minimum number of years of experience.

However, applicants should be able to demonstrate skills that are relevant to managing a store, such as:

• Team leadership and supervision.
• Inventory and stock management.
• Organisation and attention to detail.
• Customer-service skills.
• Communication and interpersonal skills.
• Problem-solving ability.
• Ability to work toward operational or sales targets.
• Ability to coordinate day-to-day store activities.

Previous experience in retail, warehouse operations, procurement, inventory management or another related environment may be useful, provided it accurately reflects the applicant’s background.

Location Requirement

Candidates must be based in or around Yaba and its surrounding areas.

This is an explicit requirement in the vacancy, so applicants who live within reasonable proximity to Yaba should make their location clear in their CV or application.

If you currently live outside the area, consider whether you can realistically meet the employer’s location requirement before applying.

How to Prepare Your CV

A Store Manager CV should make your management and operational experience easy to identify.

Where applicable, highlight:

• Previous store or retail management experience.
• Team supervision responsibilities.
• Inventory and stock-control experience.
• Experience monitoring stock levels.
• Procurement or supply-chain responsibilities.
• Customer-service experience.
• Experience working with sales or operational targets.
• Staff training or performance supervision.
• Experience maintaining store or workplace standards.
• Relevant computer or inventory-management skills.

Rather than simply writing “managed inventory,” explain what you actually handled—for example, stock records, receiving goods, stock counts, reorder processes or inventory monitoring.

Why Inventory Management Matters

For a store handling physical fitness equipment, accurate stock information is important.

Effective inventory control helps a store know what is available, identify shortages and keep records organised. A Store Manager therefore needs to pay attention to stock movement while also ensuring that the team can serve customers efficiently.

Applicants with practical experience in stock-taking, inventory records or store organisation should make this experience visible in their applications.

Team Leadership and Customer Experience

The role is not limited to keeping products organised. The Store Manager will also lead, train and motivate the team.

That means communication and people-management skills are important. A manager needs to set expectations, support team members and help maintain consistent standards throughout the store.

Customer satisfaction is another stated responsibility. Applicants with experience resolving customer concerns, supporting sales teams or improving the customer experience can mention relevant examples in their CV.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should send their CV or a brief introduction about themselves to:

Email: gymstorenigeria@gmail.com

A brief introduction should ideally include your name, current location, relevant store or management experience and a short explanation of why your background is suitable for the role.

Because the employer specifically requires candidates to be based in or around Yaba, including your location can help demonstrate that you meet this requirement.
