Part-Time Retail Sales Associate - Baske - Opening July 2025

About the Position:
Baske is hiring! We are looking for the perfect addition to our busy team in our soon-to-open Portland, Maine location. This is a part-time retail position (up to 32 hours per week) with room to grow. Nestled in the heart of Portland’s historic Old Port, Baske is a home store founded by Angie and John Foddrill, the owners of women’s clothing store Bliss and children’s boutique Little. Working harmoniously as a team is essential, as is making everyone who enters the store feel comfortable and welcome.

The part-time retail sales associate would be part of an outgoing, self-motivated, team-orientated (and coffee-loving) group. Days are spent multitasking: assisting customers with warmth and assertiveness and keeping the store bright and beautiful. A love of homewares and customer service are key–we are proud of the brands we carry, and we love working with customers to make their homes unique reflections of themselves.
