Bill Foster and Steve Anevski described the search: 18 months, three attempts and a 750-foot buffer from prohibited uses before a location worked. They credited township officials, the landlord and local contractors.

Manager Brijeit Harrison Schnurr said the layout gives the team room, with a kitchen area and a floor made for crowds. Crews from the first two stores came over to train the 40-plus new hires.

We have the space to make sure that we're detail-oriented
