The Fudgery ( Harborwalk Village) - Salesperson
Overview
Host Company Description:
It was 1980 when A.C. Marshall revolutionized the time honored
tradition of making fudge with the grand opening of the world’s very
first Fudgery on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. With its copper
kettles and marble slabs the store looked like a fudge shop but it sure
didn't sound like one...
With the ringing of a big brass bell "Papa Fudge" Marshall lured
beach-goers into that first store with a unique mix of singing
showmanship and the best fudge the world has ever known. And the
show has never stopped.
The Fudgery is not just a candy shop, it's an experience you will never forget

Position Details
Interactive retail is how “Papa Fudge” describes his nutty concept but what that really means is FUN.
More than anything else that has been the secret ingredient in his recipe for success; that and a first
rate fudge. That commitment to quality continues as the company he founded added caramel apples
ice cream and milk shakes to an already successful mix. As well as expanding to 26 stores in
various locations throughout the United States.
The Salespeople are the face of The Fudgery! They use their outstanding personalities and
welcoming smile to draw customers in and make them want to come back. You will be responsible
for selling fudge; ice cream and other Fudgery products. You will work as a team to keep the store
stocked and clean.
You will also be part of the “entertainment” our customers enjoy when they come into our shops!
Some of the entertainment you can expect to participate in is singing songs; dancing, answering
questions and above all smiling and making sure the customers are having as much fun as you are.
This position is what sets The Fudgery apart from other retail and candy shops.
You are constantly interacting and engaging with the customers so an excellent English level is
required. You do not have to have a good singing voice or be good at dancing, but need to feel
comfortable singing and dancing sometimes; If you have a good singing voice or are a good dancer
this is a plus, but above all the desire to entertain and be a part of a team that really stands out;
smiles and has fun! This job is like no other job you can experience. Where else can you sing,
dance, laugh, smile AND sell fudge?
