How much money does a grocery store manager earn?

I have worked in the Grocery industry for about 12 years.

There are different types of managers in the Grocery business all with different pay. There are Department managers (Dairy, Produce, Bakery, Meat, etc.) that oversee a single department, then there are store managers (normally 3-4 per store) that oversee overall store operations.

Where I worked, Department Managers start at around $17.00 per hour.

The Store Managers would start around $19.00 per hour and go up from there. The Store Director position, which is the high man on the totem pole, starts at a salary of about $60,000 per year and goes up to about $85,000 per year, depending on your experience and how long you have been with the company.

Beyond that, we have what are called Market Managers. They oversee a group of different stores, normally 8 of them. They drop in each store for a few hours each week and go over things with the Store Managers. They make around $100,000 and up per year.
