Several fast casual restaurants and retail companies have been exploring and utilizing metal building construction to reduce development costs.

An example is a major rent to own retail concept that has used metal buildings for their retail stores for several years.

MRP developed a set of prototype building drawings that create an 80’x100’ building and a 100’x100’ building. Coordination with the metal building manufacture optimized the layouts with the needs of the facility to blend with the characteristics of metal building construction.

Details, that allow the exterior face of the building to resemble a conventional construction retail storefront, were worked through. MRP has worked many of these projects through local permitting requirements and made required modifications to allow permit approval.

The current rate of development with these metal buildings have allowed seventy stores per year construction rate with expectations to increase to one hundred and fifty retail sites per year.
