Hello Ken. Thank you for your service. In line with what Henry ("Dr. Hank") Stevens mentioned, another thought is to maybe look at area colleges that have campus stores. Many look for someone with your experience to operate and manage their store for students both on and off campus.

As a thought, and assuming you enjoyed your experience as a "Stores Keeper" how about exploring opportunities working at your local hospital. GENERALLY speaking, they have 2 types of "stores management." I.E., "Central Sterile Supply" and "Purchasing." Based on your experience, it might be a worthwhile pursuit to explore these possibilities.
