In September 2011 it will open a year‐round Christmas store in the historic shopping district of Long Grove, IL.  \nLong Grove is a popular regional shopping and tourist destination located in Chicago’s affluent north suburbs. It has a rich history, an eclectic mix of boutique shops and premier restaurants, and year‐round festivals. For over 30 years The Pine Cone Christmas Shop was a Long Grove destination store. In late August 2008, Pine Cone suffered a fire and ceased operations, leaving an historic building vacant. The Pear Tree Shoppe will be located in the same building, and with the same phone number, as the former Pine Cone Shop to bring “the comforts & joy of Christmas” to new generations.  \nThe Pear Tree Shoppe, Ltd.  \n210 Robert Parker Coffin Road, Building 16, Long Grove, IL 60047-9539  \n[info@peartreeshoppe.com](info@peartreeshoppe.com) ● 847-634-0890 ● [peartreeshoppe.com](peartreeshoppe.com)  \n[facebook.com/peartreeshoppe](facebook.com/peartreeshoppe) ● [twitter.com/peartreeshoppe](twitter.com/peartreeshoppe)","cbCaikHxAVS19yXz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikHxAVS19yXz","pdf",177709,"English","# Duties and Responsibilities\n## Customer Service and Sales Support\n## Store Standards and Reporting\n# Skills and Specifications\n# Education and Qualifications\n# About The Pear Tree Shoppe & Long Grove","[{\"question\":\"What are the main duties of a Retail Sales Associate?\",\"answer\":\"A Retail Sales Associate follows store operating procedures, maintains cleanliness, replenishes merchandise, assists customers in finding and learning products, and supports the Store Manager to meet sales targets.\"},{\"question\":\"What skills and interpersonal qualities are required?\",\"answer\":\"The role requires excellent written and verbal communication, strong interpersonal skills for meeting customer needs, and the ability to work in teams while taking initiative.\"},{\"question\":\"What education and qualifications are expected?\",\"answer\":\"A high school degree, diploma, or GED equivalent is required.
