Nina Investments is a parent company which owned a Gateway Newsstand store in Atlanta's Phipps Plaza Mall and operated as real estate brokerage in the Atlanta area. I worked as store manager at the Gateway Newsstand store. I was responsible for all product selection, purchase, and employee procedures.
I took a weekly visit at all the suppliers in order to purchase products, keep in touch with the suppliers for better business relationships, look for the latest products offered in the market, and follow the latest offered deals by various suppliers. By doing so our store could offer to it's customers the latest products in the Fast Moving Products category.
Moreover, I was in charge of banking process, scheduling, and paycheck calculations of the store. By doing this we could send healthy reports to our franchiser in Canada. I had to leave my post and return to Turkey due to family reasons.

CIRCUIT CITY, Atlanta, Georgia A.B.D.
I started working at Circuit City stores as sales representative in computer department at it's Dunwoody store. At time our manager had to leave due to health problems and I took over some of his duties. Our department included six sales representatives working at various schedules. My duties were to make sure the department was representable, sales representatives match their sales goals, customers visited the store were informed fully, and try to keep returns as low as possible.
Unfortunately, I was offered to move to a different store at Northpoint district but I could not accept that position. It wasn't feasible for my home and college schedule and I had to leave my job for Nina Investments. In 2009, Circuit City stores had to close it's doors, had to file for bankruptcy, and now operates as online retailer under new ownership.
