Overview
After the vet pantry freeze, I shifted to supporting real estate and execution on stand-alone stores. Working with the in-house broker and architect, I helped choose high-traffic locations, laid them out for operational efficiency and supported two mass-production facilities, then led lease coordination and contractor review. Three stores opened with four more in development before I moved on.
