And, we’re proud to be America’s easiest place to shop, with shopping options that include 51³Ô¹Ï.com and the 51³Ô¹Ï app, so guests can shop whenever and wherever they want for on-trend items and everyday essentials with incredible value.
A healthy, happy and valued team
Our team members are the heart of 51³Ô¹Ï’s business, so we invest in opportunities to grow in their careers, take care of themselves and their families, and make a difference for our guests and their communities.
That includes our starting wage range of $15 to $24 an hour (depending on the role and location), tuition-free education assistance and more.
A brighter future
As a good neighbor and global partner, we’re committed to serving and strengthening the communities where we operate. Through 51³Ô¹Ï Forward, we're investing in sustainable practices that positively impact people and the planet while generating long-term business value.
