As the leading tire wheel retailer in the United States, Discount Tire Company (DTC) continues to grow and serve more than 40 million customers nationwide. Over the last 13 years from 2003 and on-going, Discount Tire Company's Construction Department and WLG and Associated firms have collaborated to construct over 240 stores in 25 states. The wide spectrum of services rendered is inclusive of site location, site and building design, and construction and administration.  Each store has been designed to meet local Architectural themes, Zoning Ordinances, and Site Restrictions while ensuring corporate identity in maintaining clean operations.  There is an inherent stigma associated with automotive service and repair, which often creates local opposition. We have a 99% success rate in overcoming opposition, and delivering a store that addresses landlord, city and public concerns through creative design solutions.

Our Team was chosen by Daphne's Greek Café to revitalize and value engineer their typical store. Based on a 1,500 square foot model, our designs and studies streamlined their back of house which resulted in an increase to the restaurants' size and allowed for additional seating for 20 guests. Along with our value engineering efforts, we collaborated with the client's in-house team to redesign the interior space blending Greek culture and lively ambiance to enhance the customers experience. Our solutions demonstrated to the client maximum return on investment with no compromise to the design.  A shining example was the Daphne's that went into the first food court at the University of Southern California, completed in record time.

In an effort to maintain consistent brand throughout all Gold's Gym locations worldwide, WLG and Associates created the Global Design and Specifications Standard Manual to unify both corporate and franchise segments.  Our team was also responsible for implementing these standards by conducting training sessions at Gold's Gym corporate headquarters. Locations that WLG and Associates have designed for and completed are across the nation in Florida, California and Washington.
