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.
Airport: Portland (PWM), over 80 km

Housing is coed, with a shared television, couch, refrigerator and microwave, included internet, plus smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and a fire extinguisher. The home is about 200 steps from where you work.
Location
Why Jackman, Maine?
Known as "The Switzerland of Maine", Jackman is a small, friendly town surrounded by endless forests, sparkling lakes and rolling mountains near the Canadian border. Your days off can be spent kayaking on Big Wood Lake, hiking scenic trails, spotting moose, fishing, or watching some of the clearest starry skies in North America. In the fall, the legendary New England foliage turns the whole region gold and crimson – a view you will never forget.
Jackman is a genuine small-town American experience: locals know your name, the pace is relaxed, and you'll leave with friendships that last long after the season ends. Popular getaways like Quebec City, Portland and Bar Harbor are within reach for weekend trips.
