With the Extensive Retail Chain Store Development Construction & Operation Experience I've acquired over the years, I'm seeking to be exclusively employed with a Company that owns a chain of stores-restaurants in Several States or Nationwide. The benefits and expertise that I hold are, but not limited to... Design, Estimating, Contract Negotiations, Budgeting, Power Buying, Detail Construction and of course, working with potential Franchises. I specialize in Retail-Restaurant Store Construction Development for National Chains. Im even involved in everything fromConcept Creation, Design, Strategy, Brand and Product Development. At this present I hold seven (7) State Contractor Licenses' and plan on going after 8 more to cover all the entire SE USA. By acquiring several Contractor Licenses' in different State, gives the company (you) a better advantage of controlling the overall Development & Construction Cost.
