Job Description

Build KL's sweetest destination.

Scandy's is opening its first mini flagship store in a yet undisclosed location in Klang Valley. More than a candy shop, this will be a destination experience bringing the magic of Swedish pick & mix culture to Malaysia.

We're looking for someone entrepreneurial, creative, responsible and hands-on to help build this store from the ground up. Someone who treats it like their own baby. Someone who gets excited by creating experiences, building communities and making customers smile.

This isn't a typical retail manager role. You'll be part store manager, part event creator, part community builder, part content creator, and part entrepreneur.

About Scandy's

Scandy's is bringing authentic Swedish candy culture to Malaysia through premium pick & mix experiences, events, online channels and unique retail concepts. Our mini flagship will become the home of Swedish candy in Kuala Lumpur - a place where customers discover new favourites, attend fun events, create content and become part of our growing candy-loving community.

Compensation

  • Fixed monthly salary 
  • Bonus component tied to store performance

Details

  • Start Date: Early July 2026
  • Employment Type: Full-time
