Job Description

Chief Operating Officer (COO) – Sara’s Mediterranean Market & BMF Baking Co.

Location : Dallas–Fort Worth, TX

Type : Full-Time Executive

Industry : Specialty Retail

  • Grocery
  • CPG
  • Food Manufacturing

Reports to : CEO

About Us

Sara’s Mediterranean Market is one of the fastest-growing specialty food companies in Texas, known for our award-winning bakery, curated grocery experience, and high-volume fresh food departments. With over 30 years of history and a major expansion underway—including a new 35,000 sq ft flagship in Frisco and rapidly growing manufacturing capabilities through BMF Baking Co.—we are building a world-class, multi-unit, multi-channel enterprise.

We are now seeking a transformational Chief Operating Officer (COO) to help us scale from a founder-led organization to a sophisticated, operationally excellent, financially disciplined company capable of doubling and tripling in value over the next 3–5 years.

The Role

The COO will be the operational engine of the company—responsible for building systems, people, financial discipline, and scalable infrastructure across all locations. This executive will oversee day-to-day operations, drive the P&L, and partner directly with the CEO to execute our long-term vision.

This role is perfect for a leader who has grown high-volume grocery, specialty retail, or food manufacturing operations and knows how to take a family-owned business into its next era of disciplined, sustainable growth.

What You Will Lead

Operational Excellence

  • Own all store operations across departments : grocery, produce, bakery, grill, and butcher shop
  • Standardize SOPs and operational systems across locations
  • Build a high-performance culture with clear expectations, KPIs, and accountability
  • Improve efficiency, reduce shrink, and elevate customer experience

    • Financial Discipline & P&L Management

  • Lead weekly / monthly P&L reviews with department heads
  • Build budgeting, forecasting, and labor models
  • Create inventory, waste, and cost-control systems
  • Partner with CFO on financial strategy, reporting, and capital planning

    • Expansion & New Store Development

  • Lead the execution of our new Frisco flagship (35,000 sq ft, 2026 opening)
  • Build repeatable store-opening playbooks for future growth
  • Manage vendor relationships, construction timelines, and critical-path decisions

    • Leadership & Organizational Development

  • Coach and develop department leaders and GMs
  • Create scalable reporting structures and performance dashboards
  • Strengthen communication and alignment across the company

    • Who You Are

  • A proven operational leader with 10+ years in grocery, specialty retail, or food manufacturing
  • Experienced running $50M–$200M+ P&Ls
  • Strong in financial management, decision-making, and execution
  • Obsessed with systems, discipline, efficiency, and accountability
  • Comfortable building an organization that can scale from 2 stores → 5 → 10
  • A strategic partner who ensures the CEO can focus on vision, partnerships, and growth
  • A builder who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

    • Preferred Backgrounds

  • Whole Foods Market
  • H-E-B
  • Wegmans
  • Sprouts
  • Fresh Market
  • High-growth CPG or food manufacturing
  • Multi-unit grocery / retail operators

    • Why Join Us

  • Rare opportunity to transform a 30-year family brand into a category-defining regional chain
  • Direct impact on doubling or tripling enterprise value
  • A leadership team deeply committed to growth, quality, and guest hospitality
  • Competitive executive compensation package
  • Ability to build the systems, culture, and structure that will shape the company for the next decade

    • Ready to Build the Future With Us?

    If you are a builder, a disciplined operator, and a leader who can turn vision into execution, we’d love to meet you.
