Featured case study: $60k in savings and a faster path to opening for Cold Stone Creamery

When a new Cold Stone Creamery franchisee met with our team for the first time, they had received a single contractor bid of $274k—well over budget—with limited visibility into alternatives.

Our project planner sourced multiple qualified contractors, leveled bids to identify missing scope and inflated costs, and worked directly with contractors to revise proposals. The result: a final contract of $215k—saving ~$60,000—while maintaining full brand compliance.

With rent already accruing, timing was critical. Our team also helped compress the construction timeline from 120 days to 90 days, enabling the team to start construction immediately after signing and move closer to opening day with confidence.
