Supporting Growth Where It’s Happening—and Reinvestment Where It’s Overdue
Harris Teeter is expanding into new markets while upgrading stores that have served the Southeast for decades. Managing both at once—new builds, active remodels, fuel centers, and pharmacy infrastructure—demands a partner who can execute across multiple programs without disrupting what’s already working. That’s where we come in.
20 Minutes. No Deck. Just your priorities and where execution gets stuck.
You’re Not Managing Isolated Projects.
You’re Managing Growth and Reinvestment in Parallel.
Across the Harris Teeter portfolio, new store development and existing store reinvestment are moving at the same time:
- Five new stores under development across Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina—each requiring civile engineering, permitting, fuel center construction, and pharmacy build-out
- Active market-wide remodel programs already underway, with façade, interior, and department-level upgrades across existing locations
- Fuel centers tied to new builds introducing entitlement, environmental, and civil complexity alongside store construction
- Florida market entry bringing new jurisdictional requirements, permitting environments, and local stakeholder dynamics
- Pharmacy and drive-thru infrastructure adding scope and coordination complexity to both new builds and renovations
- Simultaneous programs across multiple markets—new store development in Florida running alongside active remodel programs in the Carolinas—create reporting complexity and coordination risk that compound quickly without consistent program structure
Each initiative is manageable on its own. Executing them together—without disrupting operations or compounding risk—is where structure matters most.
Where We See Immediate Opportunity
Complexity is Increasing, Structure Creates Advantage
Harris Teeter’s growth pipeline and reinvestment programs reflect a level of complexity that rewards disciplined, coordinated execution. These are the areas where structure matters most.
New Store Development
Five new stores are actively in development across Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina—several entering markets where Harris Teeter has no prior presence. Each location includes a fuel center, pharmacy with drive-thru, and new store format. Getting entitlements, civil design, and construction coordinated from the start prevents the schedule compression that hits programs later.

Program Management
Construction
Fuel Center Permitting & Civil Design
Every new Harris Teeter in the current pipeline includes a fuel center. Fuel introduces entitlement, environmental, and civil complexity that runs on a different track than the store itself. Managing both tracks in parallel, without one delaying the other, requires permitting and civil expertise specific to retail petroleum.

Market-Wide Remodel Programs
Harris Teeter’s active Charleston remodel program is the kind of coordinated market-wide reinvestment that benefits from consistent program structure, sequencing discipline, and overnight execution capability.

Florida Market Entry
Jacksonville represents Harris Teeter’s re-entry into Northeast Florida after a 20-year absence. New markets bring unfamiliar permitting jurisdictions, local utility and mobility requirements, and community stakeholder dynamics. We have active teams in Florida and a track record of navigating complex local approval environments at speed.

Pharmacy & Drive-Thru Infrastructure
Every new Harris Teeter location in the current pipeline includes a pharmacy with drive-thru. This scop layer adds structural, utility, and permitting complexity that needs to be coordinated with the primary store program.

Multi-Market Program Coordination
Running new store development in Florida while managing active remodel programs in the Carolinas means multiple teams, multiple timelines, and multiple approval environments moving at once. Consistent program structure across markets keeps reporting clear and leadership informed without requiring constant escalation.

he following programs reflect the scale, complexity, and execution discipline Harris Teeter’s growth and reinvestment programs require. Active stores, new market entry, fuel centers, overnight work, and multi-site coordination are consistent threads across all of them.
Kroger
Civil, Zoning & Permitting for 100+ Retail Fuel Centers
Sevan designed, entitled, and permitted 100+ retail fuel centers across four Kroger markets—navigating complex municipal approvals, environmental requirements, outdoor sales requests, and local stakeholder negotiations across multiple jurisdictions.
BP
New-to-Industry Site Development Across California
Sevan served as a single accountable partner for BP’s new-to-industry site program—managing real estate, civil engineering, entitlements, permitting, and construction across multiple markets where unpredictable approval cycles had previously stretched timelines to 19-24 months. Sevan reduced development timelines to 9-18 months while keeping budgets aligned to initial forecasts.
Starbucks
3,000+ New Builds, Remodels & Site Assessments
Since 2015, Sevan has partnered with Starbucks to manage new builds, remodels, and site assessments across the U.S. and Canada—assessing each site, determining scope, and executing across a high-volume, multi-market pipeline. The collaboration compressed new build delivery to 8 weeks, remodels to 16-21 days, and store refreshes to 3-5 days.
That’s the gap we help close.
Sevan brings that structure to life through 20,000+ grocery projects completed nationwide.
Each year, we help transform 14,000+ sites with disciplined execution across regions and formats.
Proof Inside Kroger’s Ecosystem
Sevan supports large-scale grocery reinvestment through turnkey delivery powered by 7Xcellence—our disciplined, repeatable delivery framework—enabling consistent execution, overnight work to reduce downtime, and an excellent safety record across complex, active environments.
Sevan Has Helped Kroger with:
Retail Fuel Centers |
Multiple Kroger Markets
We’ve Already Worked Inside Kroger’s Network
- Designed, entitled, and permitted 100+ retail fuel centers
- Managed complex municipal approvals and environmental requirements
- Supported both grocery-adjacent and standalone fuel locations
Our first major Kroger engagement was a fuel program. Sevan designed, entitled, and permitted 100+ retail fuel centers across four Kroger markets—navigating complex municipal approvals, environmental requirements, outdoor sales requests, and local stakeholder negotiations.
That work required exactly what large-scale grocery programs demand: disciplined civil and permitting expertise, consistent execution across jurisdictions, and the ability to adapt when conditions change without losing schedule.
What was delivered:

Let’s Start with Your Priorities
We’re not looking to pitch a program you don’t need. We’d rather spend 20 minutes understanding what your goals are, where execution is getting complicated, and whether there’s a real fit.
- No Deck
- No Pressure
Just a focused conversation with someone who has worked through these programs before.
