In the summer of 2015, KVAT Foods purchased all stores owned by the company, Bi-Lo in Chattanooga and the surrounding markets Dayton, TN, Trenton, GA, etc. KVAT needed assistance from Ortwein, specifically in price installation for the revamping of Bi-Lo signs to KVAT foods. It was going to be a process, as it always is for companies that need to restyle their franchise. They chose Ortwein, as the sign company best suited the job.
Working with time efficiency, and maximizing all of our resources, we knew that we were going to able to take care of the twenty-nine stores and thirty-one signs that were needing to be manufactured. The Ortwein team came up with a business strategy and with six weeks to get the job finished, each custom sign was renovated and manufactured within a week or less.
