The Store Development AI Playbook

Store development is one of the last industries running on heroics, late nights in spreadsheets, tribal knowledge held in a few people's heads, and project managers standing in half-finished stores trying to remember how they solved this last time.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Written by a working store development project manager and the founder of an AI platform built for the industry, The Store Development AI Playbook is a candid, practical field guide for the people who actually open stores: real estate, construction, design, and operations leaders inside retail, restaurant, and consumer brands.

This is not a book about the future of AI. It's a book about what changes on Monday morning when you stop rewriting the same status email at 1 a.m. and start using AI as a teammate.

Inside, you'll find:

• Real workflows from a PM running a national rollout, from "Start My Day" intelligence briefings to landlord risk pre-reviews
• Copy-paste prompts for lease abstraction, schedule slip explanations, and live project guardrails
• A clear framework for capturing senior PM instincts before they retire
• Honest stories about what AI can and can't do in retail real estate and construction
• A "How to Start This Week" guide for teams who think they're "not ready for AI"
