Outsourced Store Planning STS positions itself as an outsourced store planning department for remodels and new store designs in supermarkets and specialty food stores, delivering planning, space layout and mechanical system design without the overhead of an in-house team. This creates a compelling sales angle for small to mid-size operators seeking turnkey expertise.

Automation Growth The launch of the Bigger is Better model signals a shift toward larger formats and automation, which creates opportunities for STS to design layouts and select mechanical systems that integrate with automated equipment, improving efficiency and scalability for upcoming projects.

NYC Market Focus With a New York base and a lean team, STS is well positioned to serve dense urban operators and regional grocers needing rapid remodel or new-store planning, offering localized project management and quick design cycles.

Partnership Opportunities STS could form strategic partnerships with equipment manufacturers and systems integrators to provide end‑to‑end store design and retrofit services, expanding reach and enabling cross-selling with partners like Hussmann, Zero Zone, and Anthony Brands.

Marketing Readiness Current technology stack suggests room to grow inbound leads through enhanced marketing assets such as case studies, project portfolios, and ROI-focused content that speaks to grocery operators planning remodels or expansions.
