Current Openings

Lakewinds employs over 210 people between our Minnetonka and Chanhassen stores. We have jobs ranging from part-time, after-school to full-time career positions with full benefits. We offer a fast-paced and satisfying work environment in the fastest growing segment of the grocery industry. 

Benefits:

Lakewinds has an extremely competitive benefits package. Depending on the amount an employee works, benefits include a 15% discount on purchases, paid time off, paid holidays, 401(k) plan, employer-sponsored health and dental insurance, flexible spending plans (medical and dependent care), and profit sharing. We also provide training in natural foods, cooperatives, customer service, workplace safety and more.

Positions Available:

Beginning Search for New GM
From the Board of Directors

In February of this year, Libby Trader resigned as General Manager. Libby joined us in July 2007, when Lakewinds was experiencing severe growing pains and financial uncertainty. Throughout her tenure, Libby worked closely with her management team to strengthen sales and set the stores back on course. While we are disappointed she has chosen to leave, we applaud her myriad contributions and thank her for her service to the cooperative.

While we are conducting our search, we have asked John Case to renew his role as interim GM, which he served back in 2007. John’s vast experience with Lakewinds gives us the luxury of having a steady hand at the wheel of daily operations while we search for a permanent GM.

The board has established a search committee, and we are in the beginning stages of conducting our search. We expect the process to take a number of months and you can follow our progress on www.lakewinds.com and in the member newsletter. As always, feel free to contact your Board if you have any questions at board@lakewinds.com.

If you are interested in applying for the General Manager position, please review the qualifications here.
