When the Dublin, Ireland based fuel/food court giant decided to expand into the U.S. via the acquisition of a South Carolina based regional convenience store chain, they called on UPLAND ARCHITECTS to help.  The team at Upland quickly helped align a re-branding program with the Applegreen team and their franchise partners to deliver new formatted locations to better serve its customers with clean, well-lit stores with new convenience food offers.

SPEED TO MARKET

Realizing that downtime in a fuel/convenience store environment is the biggest challenge to overcome.  UPLAND ARCHITECTS worked with Applegreen's franchise partners to develop layouts and concepts that maximized impact while minimizing the project timeline.  Through building and fostering relationships, "which is one of Upland Architects' core beliefs" the creating of a partnership team between client, Architect, franchises, and contractors contributed to the success of Applegreen in the Southeastern United States.

THE PROCESS

To meet an aggressive schedule, Upland Architects provided services from site assessment and verification, documentation, bidding services, and construction management.
