Cairo’s local Goody’s Department Store is converting this summer to Gordmans, an apparel and home decor retailer.
The new store is now hiring and holding a job fair in Cairo today, 11 a.m. until 8 p.m., at the Goody’s location, 1020 First Ave. N.E. That address will soon be operated as Gordmans. Walk-ins are welcome to the job fair, according to Kristen Whitman, media liaison for Gordmans.
Cairo is one of seven stores in Georgia that are now hiring with plans of opening in June.
Gordmans is part of the Stage community of stores. Stage is converting many of its Goody’s and other department store name plates to Gordmans in 2020, “an off-price concept offering everyone’s favorite brands at prices way lower than department stores.”
Merchandise selection includes apparel and footwear for the family, home decor, accent furniture, wall decor, bedding and bath, kitchen gadgets, fashion jewelry, designer fragrances, toys and pet accessories. There’s also an Amazon Counter inside its stores.
Gordmans is hiring for a variety of full-time, part-time and temporary positions. Positions, which vary by store location, include sales associate, stockroom associate and more.
Other stores in Georgia will be in Adel, Fitzgerald, Hazlehurst, Eastman, Rincon and Thomson.
