@heidicowgill
I lead high-volume retail operations, grow sales, develop leaders, and launch successful store concepts.
What I'm looking for
I've led high-volume retail operations at Bealls Retail Group since 2014, managing Bealls Florida, Bealls Outlet, and Home Centric. I launched Florida's first standalone Home Centric while driving profitable performance, compliance, and customer service.
As a P&L owner, I improve sales growth, margin, and operational efficiency through inventory and shrink control, store layouts, and visual merchandising. I build strong customer experiences through focused sales execution and conversion strategies.
I've served as a District Trainer and Talent Captain, creating weekly training trackers and leading district operations training for new managers. I mentor associates into assistant manager and store manager roles through repeatable coaching and development programs.
Earlier, I managed top-performing stores for American Eagle Outfitters, Sprint, Charlotte Russe, Ann Taylor, Burlington Coat Factory, and Pier One Kids. At Sprint, my store ranked in the Top 100 nationwide, and I earned the #1 national ranking for individual public sector accounts from 2009 to 2011.
