• Armadillo Retail Bar: Similar to the Hydro Retail Bar but on a smaller scale, this role offers a slightly more intimate yet still bustling environment.

It’s a great opportunity for those who enjoy a fast-paced setting but prefer working with a more manageable crowd. (over 18s only due to nature of work)
