Answers. Best Answer: Retail store managers are usually salary because they have to work a lot of hours. An Abercombie store manager might make around $40,000 per year, but a Best Buy store manager would probably make somwhere between $70,000-$100,000 per year.I used to be a store manager at Spencer's and I made about $35,000, and a friend was a store manager at Service Merchandise and he made about $60,000.t's a pretty big range. An assistant manager at Abercrombie is probably making $12-$15 per hour, and an assistant at Best Buy is definitely salary. These $ ranges are different all around the country, though.
