Retail Store Careers
Our store associates love good design, and our customers can feel it.
Stores are where the Crate and Barrel brand comes to life. Our Retail Store teams connect with our customers person to person, face to face, zeroing in on each shopper’s needs and finding the right design solution for his or her home, look and lifestyle. Since our first location opened in 1962, a genuine passion for our products has driven the success of Retail Store teams whose members fill the following roles.

We aim to inspire our customers, not just make a sale. Unlike most stores, our chairs aren’t just chairs – they’re future dinner parties. Our desks aren’t just desks – they’re the next great novel.

They’re creative, warm, empathetic individuals whose unique attributes make Crate and Barrel everything we are.
