Creative Studio Architects has grown our presence in the retail sector through a long-standing partnership with AAA East Central, successfully delivering over 15 different retail locations across the Midwest. These projects represent a core competency in managing regional rollouts where consistency and local adaptation must go hand-in-hand. By focusing on the unique geographic demands of the Midwest market, the firm has ensured that each branch serves as a reliable hub for AAA members, whether the location is a standalone building or an integrated suite in a busy shopping center.

The typical project scope for these locations ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 square feet, a footprint that requires a meticulous balance of open member service areas and travel and insurance consultation areas. A hallmark of this partnership is the firm's strict adherence to the Owner’s brand standards. Creative Studio Architects ensures that the design aesthetic remains uniform across the entire portfolio, reinforcing brand recognition and member trust. From the specific color palettes to the precise placement of environmental graphics, the team translates corporate identity into a tangible physical environment. We are also able to roll out these projects at speed, with each project location requiring typically no more than a few weeks to go from a fit plan sketch to final Construction Documentation.
