Case Study: discount retail chain achieves faster store openings with PeopleReady staffing support

Discount Retail Chain adds 20 associates daily with PeopleReady for store openings

The customer, a discount retail chain, faced difficulty assembling sufficient workers due to cost and time constraints as it prepared to open a new store in Sherman, Texas. The challenge involved unloading trucks and completing labor-intensive tasks before opening day. The retailer partnered with PeopleReady for its staffing services to meet this need.

PeopleReady's solution involved a strategic account manager visiting the site and rapidly developing a revised staffing plan to create a balanced team and reduce idle time. The vendor also committed to creating a guide for future store openings. As a result, the project supervisor was impressed and immediately requested 20 more associates daily, leading to further support for a San Antonio store opening and the conversion of one associate to full-time. The retailer achieved increased productivity and cost efficiencies, leading to discussions about staffing distribution centers. PeopleReady successfully supported the chain's growth.
