Open-Store Remodel Program — 12 Locations
Twelve occupied grocery stores remodeled across Southern California in eighteen months — every store open every day, phased night work, zero lost sales days across the program.
Client: Regional Grocery Chain · Location: Southern California
The program
A twelve-store remodel program across Southern California: décor refresh, department resets, new cases, restroom and front-end rebuilds — all in stores that never closed.
How occupied-store work actually gets done
Night phasing as a discipline, not an inconvenience. Crews staged in overnight windows with hard 5 a.m. broom-clean deadlines. Temporary partitions, negative-air containment for dust-sensitive departments, and health-department coordination at every store.
A rollout playbook that compounds. Store one generated the punch-pattern checklist that stores two through twelve inherited. By the back half of the program, per-store schedule had compressed 22% against the front half.
One accountable team. The same PX, PM, and traveling superintendent pair ran the entire program — the client had one phone number for twelve stores.
Outcome
Zero lost sales days across all twelve locations. Program completed inside the fiscal-year window that drove it.
Representative case study — project details generalized pending client publication approval. Figures reflect a real EWB program profile.
