Innovative. Successful. Responsible. That's how the NSLC operates. It shows in NSLC stores (more than 106 retail locations), in the approach (to social and environmental priorities), and in corporate achievements (more than $200 million back to our shareholder every year). But most of all, it shows in the NSLC’s employees.

More than 1500 Nova Scotians are currently part of the NSLC team, and thanks to their efforts, the NSLC is the largest single banner retail business in the province—as well as a great place to work. Exceptional benefits, competitive wages, and a challenging yet fun environment make the NSLC an ideal choice for diligent, hardworking individuals with the right attitude. What's more, the NSLC team continues to make a difference by supporting numerous causes in the communities we serve.
