About the employer
Bishops Store is a family-owned, fourth-generation business in Jackman, Maine — a peaceful town about 20 minutes from the Canadian border, where neighbours are friends and everyone knows you. It brings together a gas station, a kitchen with made-to-order and grab-and-go food, a store full of gifts, souvenirs and sporting goods, and an ice cream parlor.
Summer is the busiest season, with visitors camping nearby or passing through on their way to Quebec or the coast. You will work in the kitchen or the ice cream parlor, close to customers. Lakes, ponds, fishing and hiking are all around, and you get 30% off food and gifts in the store.

Late shift = free days: Working later means your mornings and afternoons are yours. Swim, kayak, hike, bike or hunt for moose sightings before you clock in.
Nature at your doorstep: Big Wood Lake, Attean Pond, waterfalls, the Appalachian Trail and endless forest trails are all within easy reach. Quebec City and Portland are popular weekend trips.
Real community: In a small town, you’re not just a seasonal worker – you’re a neighbour. Expect regulars who learn your name and a team that feels like family.
