INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading appliance,
electronics and furniture retailer hhgregg (NYSE: HGG) is
announcing the hiring of more than 550 full-time and part-time
in-store sales associates. As the holiday shopping season continues
to tiptoe earlier into the calendar year, hhgregg is looking to
have their stores fully staffed and associates trained and ready to
greet shoppers getting a jump on the holiday rush.
"The annual Black Friday surge will always be there, but we are
seeing a trend in recent years of holiday shoppers showing up much
earlier than the traditional Thanksgiving-time rush," said Chris Sutton, VP of Marketing at hhgregg. "We
want to be positioned to continue providing our premium level of
customer service, which is by combining knowledgeable sales
associates with our high quality product selection."
hhgregg's high quality product selection includes this holiday
season's anticipated hot ticket item: the 4k television. With four
times the resolution of Full HD, this latest TV technology brings
unparalleled crispness and detail with heightened color and
contrast making for the most enhanced TV watching experience yet.
That experience is one that many shoppers will be looking to give
this year.
Cutting edge products and superior customer service have always
helped hhgregg provide a truly differentiated purchase experience.
Hhgregg is seeking to continue that decades-long tradition by
hiring sales associates in each of their 227 retail locations. Jobs
are also open at select locations of the company's Fine Lines
stores, where shoppers considering kitchen renovations can find the
finest selection of premium appliances.
Positions to be filled range from entry level to senior
management and previous retail experience is preferred but not
required. hhgregg will be addressing additional holiday hiring
needs in the coming months in preparation for November's holiday
shopping push.

store location.
