What we do

Heron Foods is one of the UK&rsquo;s fastest growing food retailers with over 300 stores. In 2023 we aim to open a further 20 stores together with a busy refit programme. We are really going places and to continue in our progression we need the right people to help us to build on our success.
Whether you are a Warehouse Picker, Sales Assistant, Store Manager, HGV Driver, Regional Manager or the Managing Director; we all work hard. To keep our prices low for our customers, we continue to manage our operational costs and we run a tight ship.
Running our stores is hard work; as a Store Manager you will be expected to balance a heavy workload. You will be managing an incredibly fast turnaround of products coming in and out of the shop each day. The pace is immense and isn&rsquo;t for the faint hearted! Store Managers will often say to us &ldquo;there aren&rsquo;t enough hours in the day!&rdquo; but also tell us that the days fly by.
We reward hard work and celebrate our successes. At Heron Foods we recognise that we would be nowhere without the dedication, commitment and loyalty from our valued colleagues. We develop our talent. Our Future Flyers scheme is hugely successful and is nurturing development programme that is aimed at providing training and development opportunities to talented and hard-working individuals who want to build their career with us.
Our stores are known for having happy, friendly and helpful colleagues; they have famously friendly faces which is why our loyal customers return to us time and again.
