Merchandise Allocation Analyst
Reyn SpoonerAbout Us: There's history, heritage, and Aloha stitched into every piece of Reyn Spooner apparel. Headquartered in Honolulu, with an office in Pasadena, we're thoughtfully building on more than 65 years of story — from pioneering Aloha Friday with the Hawaii State Senate in 1962, to the reverse-print Spooner Kloth™ that's defined us since 1964. We currently operate 10 retail stores across Hawaii, with more on the way. We're looking for people who bring both a strong work ethic and a genuine appreciation for tradition — people who want to help carry the Aloha spirit further into the world.
