COSI

CDO Group partnered closely with Così’s founding leadership to support a nationwide expansion that brought their artisan flatbread cafés to both urban and suburban markets across 17 U.S. states and sometimes abroad. Through hundreds of ground-up and prototype builds, CDO developed streamlined processes—presented at franchise conventions—that aligned franchisors, franchisees, and vendors into an efficient rollout system. This allowed Così to scale rapidly while maintaining the brand’s creative, community-focused design ethos and craftsmanship-driven interiors.
