Case Study · 2022

71 Locations, Three States, Three Weeks

A multi-state discount retail rollout delivered inside a fixed contracted window — without standards degrading between the first store and the seventy-first.

The Requirement

A fixed deadline across a geography no single crew could cover.

A national discount retail chain needed full floor care and detail cleaning across 71+ locations spanning Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia, completed inside a three-week contracted window.

The difficulty in a rollout like this is not the cleaning. It is that seventy-one stores cannot be serviced sequentially by one crew inside three weeks, and the moment you add crews you introduce the risk that store forty looks different from store four.

The Approach

Grouped deployment, geography first.

AUS organized the locations by geography with drive time built into the schedule rather than treating the store list as a queue. Crews were deployed in grouped blocks so travel was amortized across multiple stores per trip instead of consumed store by store.

Scope and finish standards were fixed before mobilization and documented per location, so consistency did not depend on whichever crew happened to be on site.

  • Locations clustered by drive time, not by store number
  • Grouped crew deployment across three states simultaneously
  • Fixed scope and finish standard issued before mobilization
  • Per-location documentation so variance was visible immediately
  • Owner-led oversight across the full deployment
The Outcome

Completed within the contracted window.

All 71+ locations were completed inside the three-week window at the contracted standard. The deployment remains the reference point AUS uses when a client asks whether a small company can mobilize at scale.

It is also the answer to the question procurement actually asks: not whether the work can be done, but whether it can be done the same way in seventy-one places at once.
