Services / New Store Setup & Remodels
As retailers expand their footprints with NTI (New To Industry) sites, a gap opens up between construction and grand opening — gondola construction and placement, walk-in cooler shelving and glides, and endcap and perimeter fixture installation typically fall outside the scope and expertise of the general contractor. MSCO closes that gap, merchandising and performing this work directly from the retailer’s floor plans and blueprints, on new builds and remodels alike.
A general contractor builds the shell. Someone still has to build the gondolas, place the fixtures, and get the walk-in cooler setup and organized before a single item hits the shelf — and that work rarely sits inside a construction company’s scope or expertise. MSCO fills that gap directly, working from the retailer’s floor plans and blueprints so the build-out matches the design intent exactly, not an approximation of it.
New-to-industry (NTI) sites get the full build-out treatment from empty shell to shelf-ready. Remodel sites get the same standard of work, executed around live store hours and existing traffic, so the location stays open and generating revenue while the reset happens around it — not despite it.
The work that falls between “construction is done” and “the store is open” — handled end to end.
We plug into your general contractor’s timeline directly, so merchandising isn’t waiting on construction — or the other way around.
Every build-out runs directly from the retailer’s floor plans and blueprints, so the finished store matches the design.
Gondola runs built and placed to the retailer’s floor plan, aisle by aisle, before product ever arrives.
Cooler systems installed and organized to spec, ready for stocking on day one.
Endcap and perimeter fixture installation executed to the design intent, not a field improvisation.
Fixtures, gondolas, and coolers staged and ready ahead of the opening date — not finished the morning of.
Remodel work executed around live store hours and existing traffic, so the location stays open through the process.
Coordinated build-out schedules across multiple NTI sites or remodel locations opening in the same window.
New builds and remodels follow the same disciplined handoff from blueprint to shelf-ready.
We confirm the retailer’s floor plan and blueprints against the construction timeline before scheduling crews.
Gondolas, endcaps, and perimeter fixtures are staged and sequenced for build ahead of arrival on-site.
Crews construct and place fixtures, install the walk-in cooler uprights and shelving, and build the store to spec.
A final walk-through confirms the store is shelf-ready ahead of the opening date, not the morning of.
Every location gets a visual and written recap confirming the build matches the plan.
Grand-opening day doesn’t move. Here’s what keeps the build-out on schedule.
We execute directly from the retailer's floor plans and blueprints, so the finished store matches design intent, not a field guess.
Remodel work is scheduled around live store hours, so the location keeps generating revenue through the process.
Gondola construction, walk-in cooler setup, and fixture placement are work most general contractors don't scope — we do.
Every crew member is a trained MSCO employee, so a multi-location rollout runs as one coordinated team instead of a patchwork of local subs.
The shell is built; the store still isn’t. That’s the work we handle.
Get a new-to-industry location from empty shell to shelf-ready on the timeline your opening date demands.
Coordinate a remodel program across a franchise footprint with one team and one execution standard, store to store.
Hand off the gondola, fixture, and cooler work that sits outside construction scope to a team built specifically for it.
Share your site count, floor plans, and timeline. We’ll come back with a scoped proposal — usually within 5–7 business days.
