THE MMA ADVANTAGE Built for National Scale.

Proven at Store Level.

MMA is a trusted name in retail architecture, built on nearly three decades of experience supporting national and multi-site retail programs. Our work is defined by the ability to scale efficiently across markets, deliver consistent brand-aligned environments, and execute complex rollout initiatives with speed and precision—capabilities essential to retailers pursuing rapid U.S. expansion.

Licensed in 49 states and the District of Columbia, MMA brings proven national reach and deep permitting expertise, enabling streamlined approvals and consistent documentation across diverse jurisdictions. Our approach to prototype adaptation allows retailers to move quickly without sacrificing brand integrity, ensuring each location maintains a clear, recognizable identity while responding to regional requirements.

At the store level, MMA’s strength lies in big-box interior fit-outs that prioritize circulation clarity, merchandising flexibility, and operational efficiency.

We design environments that are intuitive for customers, efficient for staff, and repeatable at scale—supporting both performance and long-term growth.

MMA’s leadership continuity and long-tenured teams provide stability, accountability, and institutional knowledge throughout the lifecycle of rollout programs. This consistency, combined with an integrated and collaborative delivery process, supports reliable schedules, reduced risk, and predictable outcomes.

Together, these capabilities—national infrastructure, speed with consistency, interior expertise, leadership stability, and innovation-driven delivery—define MMA’s value as a strategic partner. The following case points illustrate how we apply these strengths to deliver high-performing retail environments across the United States.

NATIONAL REACH CONSISTENT RESULTS At MMA, we understand what it takes to deliver high-performance architecture at scale for national retail expansion programs. With decades of experience supporting multi-site retail, developer-driven, and commercial rollouts, we manage the complexity of programs that demand speed-to-market, brand consistency, durability, and operational efficiency—without compromise.

Our team holds licensure in 49 states, the District of Columbia, and the Province of Ontario and brings deep familiarity with jurisdictional permitting, zoning, and approval processes across the United States. MMA’s in-house permitting and expediting team works in parallel with design to coordinate approvals, navigate local requirements, and reduce schedule risk across multiple markets.

This integrated approach allows us to streamline approvals, minimize friction, and maintain consistent documentation as retailers like Daiso expand their U.S. footprint. With strategically located offices in New Jersey, South Carolina, and Florida, MMA provides responsive, regionally informed support for coast-to-coast rollout programs.

Whether executing a single big-box interior fit-out or delivering multiple locations simultaneously, MMA ensures each site aligns with brand standards, merchandising strategies, and operational goals. We have partnered with nationally recognized retailers to deliver accelerated schedules, coordinated execution, and reliable outcomes across diverse jurisdictions.

From early site evaluation and prototype refinement through construction administration and post-occupancy support, MMA is more than an architect— we are a trusted rollout partner focused on efficient execution, risk reduction, and long-term performance in support of national retail growth.

SPEED WITHOUT COMPROMISE Prototype-Driven National Retail Rollouts As national retail programs scale, speed alone is not enough—brand consistency and operational clarity must be preserved across every location. MMA’s approach to prototype-based delivery enables retailers to move quickly while maintaining a consistent, recognizable brand presence in every market.

MMA brings more than 25 years of experience working with CVS Health, serving as a long-term design partner in the development and evolution of national retail prototypes. Our role has included helping establish and refine prototype standards as well as serving as Architect of Record for CVS Health’s New York City rollout program, supporting consistent execution across one of the most complex regulatory environments in the country. This depth of experience has shaped MMA’s disciplined approach to scalability, documentation governance, and brand stewardship.

In addition to CVS Health, MMA has supported prototype adaptation and rollout programs for nationally recognized brands including Walmart and 7-Eleven. Our teams understand how to translate established brand standards into buildable documents that accommodate varying site conditions, landlord requirements, and local codes—without triggering unnecessary redesign or brand dilution.

Through disciplined prototype adaptation, MMA maintains documentation consistency while allowing for jurisdictional compliance and site-specific constraints. By resolving challenges at the prototype level rather than on a site-by-site basis, MMA streamlines approvals, reduces review cycles, and maintains predictable delivery timelines.

MMA enables fast growth without sacrificing the brand—delivering consistent retail environments at the pace national expansion demands.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE INSIDE THE BOX Big–Box Expertise for High-Volume Retail Successful big-box retail environments depend on more than visual consistency—they require interiors that support highvolume traffic, efficient operations, and flexible merchandising.

MMA’s interior fit-out expertise is grounded in extensive experience delivering large-format retail environments for Walmart, Target, and grocery retailers, where circulation clarity, back-of-house efficiency, and constructability are critical to daily performance.

MMA works closely with brand and merchandising teams to implement sales floor layouts that guide customers intuitively through the store, supporting clear sightlines, logical product adjacencies, and adaptable merchandising strategies. Drawing from decades of big-box and grocery experience, our teams understand how aisle widths, fixture placement, and circulation patterns directly affect shopping behavior, replenishment efficiency, and operational flow.

Behind the scenes, MMA prioritizes efficient back-of-house layouts that support receiving, storage, stocking, and staff operations—ensuring the store functions seamlessly throughout the day. Our long-standing work with national retailers, including more than two decades supporting Walmart programs, has informed a disciplined approach to tenant improvement coordination. This allows us to navigate landlord criteria, shell conditions, and base-building constraints while maintaining consistent interior standards across locations.

Constructability and repeatability are central to our approach.

MMA develops interior solutions that are practical to build, easy to replicate, and adaptable across multiple sites. Standardized details, materials, and assemblies support predictable costs, efficient construction, and reliable results at scale.

Through this disciplined, store-focused approach, MMA demonstrates a deep understanding of the operational realities of big-box retail—delivering interiors that perform consistently across diverse markets.

LEADERSHIP YOU CAN RELY ON Hands-On Leadership from Start to Finish Successful national retail rollouts depend not only on process and expertise, but on the people responsible for delivering them. As retailers plan long-term growth, leadership continuity and team stability become critical factors in ensuring consistent execution and accountability across multiple locations and markets.

MMA is led by a long-tenured leadership team that provides continuity, institutional knowledge, and hands-on involvement throughout the life of a program.

Gabriel J. Massa, Principal Owner, remains actively engaged in guiding the firm’s strategic direction and maintaining consistent standards across national initiatives. Jaime Capron, Principal of Retail, leads MMA’s retail practice with direct oversight of multi-site rollout programs, ensuring alignment between brand standards, operational requirements, and delivery schedules. Supporting this leadership, Edward Danza, Associate in Charge of Big-Box Retail, brings focused expertise in large-format interior fit-outs, overseeing store-level execution and coordination across multiple locations.

This leadership structure allows MMA to apply deep institutional knowledge, anticipate challenges, and refine delivery strategies over time. Rather than reinventing processes for each project, our teams build on established best practices—resulting in smoother coordination, fewer disruptions, and more predictable outcomes.

Low turnover within MMA’s core project teams further strengthens this continuity. Clients benefit from working with experienced professionals who understand their goals and remain engaged as programs evolve and scale.

Through leadership stability and direct accountability, MMA offers more than technical expertise—we provide a dependable partnership built to support long-term retail growth with confidence and consistency.

SMARTER TOOLS. BETTER OUTCOMES. Technology Applied with Purpose At MMA, innovation is applied as a suite of practical services designed to improve coordination, reduce risk, and support informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. Our technology-driven capabilities are fully integrated into our design and documentation process, providing clients with clearer communication, stronger alignment, and more predictable outcomes for national retail programs.

MMA offers advanced site documentation services, including Matterport 3D scanning and drone-based site surveys, allowing project teams to accurately capture existing conditions, assess site constraints, and evaluate locations remotely. These tools support faster site evaluation, improved accuracy, and early identification of potential challenges—reducing uncertainty before design begins.

To support design development and stakeholder alignment, MMA produces high-quality renderings, animations, and immersive visualizations that allow clients, landlords, and contractors to experience spaces early in the process.

This level of visibility helps resolve layout, circulation, and constructability issues upfront, minimizing downstream conflicts and rework.

All construction documents are developed using AutoCAD, Revit, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows, ensuring coordinated, accurate, and constructible documentation. BIM-based processes improve interdisciplinary coordination, support clash detection, and enhance consistency across multisite rollout programs.

MMA’s documentation and coordination process can be further enhanced through an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach, when appropriate, bringing owners, consultants, and contractors into early alignment to improve transparency and coordination. Where beneficial, MMA also applies Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) principles to support prefabrication, improved constructability, and accelerated schedules. These approaches are applied selectively to reduce risk and improve quality—without requiring changes to a client’s preferred delivery model.

By integrating accurate site data, advanced visualization, robust documentation, and flexible delivery strategies, MMA supports smarter decisions earlier, fewer RFIs and change orders, and greater control over scope, cost, and schedule. Through disciplined use of technology and process, MMA delivers innovation with purpose—supporting efficient execution and consistent delivery across large-scale retail rollout programs.
