Case Study: Journeys speeds multi-state retail permitting with GreenLite

Journeys standardizes multi-state permitting with GreenLite in 14 business days

GreenLite was engaged by Journeys, one of the country's largest teen footwear retailers, to address the challenge of managing building permits for store renovations across multiple states. Each local jurisdiction had its own codes and processes, leading to unpredictable timelines and resource-intensive coordination that pulled the internal team away from higher-value priorities.

The solution implemented by GreenLite involved a standardized pre-submission plan review process conducted by licensed professionals across six disciplines. This proactive approach identified and resolved hundreds of compliance issues before submission to authorities. As a result, GreenLite achieved an average of just 14 business days from submission to permit approval across four states, with half the projects receiving no comments from the AHJ. This measurable success led Journeys to expand the partnership, with GreenLite now managing their ongoing multi-state permit program.
