🌟 Passionate About Community & Connection? Help Us Spark Impact In Our Communities! 💛
We’re looking for a Community Programs Lead who loves bringing people together, whether it’s through leading vibrant in‑store classes in our Community Kitchen or fun, purposeful events in the market and out in the neighborhood. You’ll build relationships, support local causes, and lead programs that strengthen our ties with the community while showcasing our brand as the Eating Company.
WHO WE ARE
T&C is a family-owned company that builds authentic relationships one interaction at a time through consistent commitment to heartfelt service, relating to people as people (not numbers) and by selling the freshest, highest-quality products available. We have a deep passion for food and people and are always looking for service-minded individuals of all backgrounds to join our community.
WHO YOU ARE
You are genuine and authentic in your interactions both with your customers and co-workers. You thrive in a team environment, take your responsibilities seriously, and always consider the customer in your decisions. You see richness and strength in a diverse workforce and treat others with respect to create a place of belonging for all. You care about your community and the environment. Pursuing knowledge in order to add value and grow is your idea of fun. Oh, and you love food!
WHAT WE OFFER (IN ADDITION TO BEING A FUN PLACE TO WORK)
We have a highly competitive benefits package ($5-$19 weekly medical premiums), vacation/sick time, paid holidays, premium pay rates, an Employee Assistance Program, a discount on virtually everything in our markets, 401(k) plans, profit-sharing and a pension, scholarship program and an employee referral bonus program. Whoa! That’s a lot of great stuff!
THE SMALL PRINT WE WANT YOU TO BE AWARE OF
T&C is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value a diverse workplace and do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, caste, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other applicable characteristic protected by law. We invite women, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, members of ethnic minorities, foreign-born residents, and veterans to apply. Duties and responsibilities may be added, deleted, or changed at any time at the discretion of management, formally or informally, either verbally or in writing.
If your experience looks a little different from what we’ve identified and you think you can thrive in this role, we’d love to learn more about you. Research shows that women and members of other under-represented groups tend to not apply to jobs when they think they may not meet every qualification, when, in fact, they often do! We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and strongly encourage you to apply.

We’re a local, family-owned company with a genuine connection to each of the communities we serve. It’s been that way for over 65 years. When it comes to business, we choose to do it in a way that nourishes the quality of life for our customers, our vendor partners, and our team.
Born to parents from opposite ends of the globe, brothers John and Mo Nakata and their friend Ed Loverich all grew up together on Bainbridge Island. In 1957, their multicultural friendship evolved into a business partnership, one that brought great food from all over into one new place—the island’s first supermarket.
They named it Town & Country Market. We love the way our name celebrates our casual, laid-back style, the freshly harvested foods we bring in from the countryside, and the beautifully crafted foods on our shelves.
Our employees are the heartbeat of our deep relationships with guests and the communities we serve. They consistently share that T&C surpasses their previous work experiences in terms of passion, management, camaraderie, customer service, and the sense that they are positively impacting their communities. The way we look at it, our family includes farmers, fishermen, makers, distributors, and all the good people working throughout our company.
We embody our core values, which include being of service to all, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering collaboration, prioritizing guest satisfaction, environmental, social, and fiscal responsibility, sharing knowledge, and upholding authenticity and integrity.
Our employees enjoy a range of benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid vacation and sick leave, premium pay for work on Sundays and evenings, discount cards, opportunities for leadership development, a scholarship program, a 401(k) savings plan, profit sharing, pension, and more.
