Jobs in the Spotlight

About Yellowstone General Stores

We operate retail locations throughout Yellowstone National Park where we offer a variety of gifts, essentials, and park merchandise. Additionally, we provide food service, lodging, and grocery operations at key locations across the park.

We have opportunities in retail, food service, and hotel operations, including positions in sales, housekeeping, and customer service. Our mission is to provide exceptional guest experiences, support park preservation, and ensure a positive, ethical work environment for all team members.

The Employee Experience

You can expect to work between 32-40 hours each week. Most positions will work in split shifts and while we cannot guarantee couples or friends coming together will work the same shifts, we will do our best to accommodate similar shifts and days off together.

We operate 11 stores located throughout the park, while we will try to accommodate store location preferences we give preference to those applicants who are flexible in start and end dates. All of our locations are above 6,000 feet, so we recommend checking with your physician if you have any concerns. Our weather is amazing but there have been occasions where we've had snow in July. It doesn't normally last long, but can be startling if you're not prepared for it!

We hope our team members bring a strong work ethic, the ability to learn our processes, and a desire to do their job very well. We have a melting pot of workers from all over the world, with different social and economic backgrounds and beliefs. It's truly an opportunity to experience different cultures where everyone has two things in common: a sense of adventure and choosing Yellowstone National Park as your backyard.

Room and Board

We offer dorms and full RV hookups. The shared dorms are $50/week with centrally located communal bathrooms and free laundry facilities. Full RV hookups range from $50 to $80/ week including water, sewer, and electricity. Meals are provided at $75/ week and are optional for RV residents.
