Physical Buildout Roadmap
1915 Kramer Ln · the zero-to-one proof of concept
The 10-week plan to turn one 25,000 SF building into a working proof that every operational branch of the business runs — retail, processing & shipping, and HQ — with documented SOPs for every role. Three parallel tracks move through three phases: building the engine (operations + software), then the store, then the takeover & expansion. Two hard anchors hold the back end: the Sept 1 building takeover and Sept 15 project completion, when Episode 6's finale closes Season 1. Pairs with the store and HQ org hierarchies.
01
The spine
Five anchor dates drive everything. The last two are fixed: the Sept 1 building takeover and the Sept 15 project completion.
Wk 1 · ~Jul 7
Kickoff — funding lands, three tracks begin in the current footprint
Wk 3 · Jul 24

The 10-week timeline — three tracks, three phases
From an early-July kickoff, the company builds its engine (operations + software) through Jul 24, then builds the store and begins Episode 6 up to the Sept 1 takeover, then runs the expansion to a Sept 15 finish. Dotted lines mark the phase boundaries.

Track 3 in detail — eight zones, one flow
Processing is built and perfected first, in product-flow order, so a piece can move cleanly from the drop-off bay all the way to a shipped sale. Then the showfloor is executed.

Capital · to allocate next
A $250,000 investment is expected to land around the Wk 1 kickoff. Allocation across the media team, the buildout, and the house-per-week push is the subject of the next working session — this roadmap is the general plan it will fund.
04
Phase 3 — Takeover & Expansion · the finale for Ep 6
Triggered by the Sept 1 second-half takeover. The back-of-house relocates, retail grows, capacity roughly doubles, and the season's closing montage is filmed — all wrapping by Sept 15.
Build
Executive & sales offices
Stand up offices for the executive team and the sales teams in the new half.
Build
War room + partner room

Dedicate half the offices to Protein Bar, the planned nutrition venture for later this year or next.
Relocate
Retail floor expansion
Move detailing, photo, and ready-for-sale to the new half; absorb the vacated space into the retail floor.
Scale
Capacity scale-up
+50% drop-off and ready-for-sale bays, a larger shipping lane, and double the cleaning and detailing stations.
Result
~$120k / month throughput
Receive, process, and sell roughly $120k per month across the fully built-out site.

What zero-to-one looks like when it's done
- Receives, processes, and sells ~$120k per month
- A highly functional, fully plotted showfloor
- A new, innovative furniture matchmaking system
- A solid, growing position in MTR property furnishing
- Documented SOPs, roles, and authorities for every role
- A growing personal-brand series telling the journey
Then the cameras roll on the Episode 6 finale — an epic montage of everything built, ending on Karl and the team smiling and cheering at the lens. That's the closing shot of Season 1.
