Traditional construction is one of the most reliable ways for an opening timeline to slip. When it does, carrying costs climb and the window you planned around starts to close. Russo Modular changes that equation by building Lola Beans locations off-site in a controlled environment, which means more consistency, fewer delays tied to weather or site conditions, and a build process that runs on a tighter, more predictable schedule from the start.

When the unit is complete, it’s delivered and placed on-site by crane. That’s not just a construction detail, it directly affects your timeline, your pre-opening costs, and how quickly you move from signed lease to serving your first customer.

Delivering the right building to the wrong site is still a problem. Citadel Construction handles the ground-level work, site preparation, utilities, infrastructure, and the final connection once the modular unit is placed.

This is where most multi-vendor buildouts break down: unclear handoffs, competing timelines, no single party owning the next step. Citadel eliminates that gap. When the building arrives, the site is ready for it, and the transition from construction to operations doesn’t become a project of its own.

Opening day is not the finish line, it’s the beginning of the part that actually matters. Once your doors are open, consistency is everything. Customers who have a great experience on Tuesday expect the same experience on Thursday. Delivering that requires a supply chain that’s reliable, scalable, and run by people who understand food service at the operational level. Gordon Food Service has been doing exactly that for more than 125 years.

Inventory issues, product gaps, and supply disruptions don’t just create internal headaches, they affect the customer experience directly, and in a repeat-visit business, a broken experience breaks the habit. Gordon Food Service is in place so that problem stays off your list.
