Thoughts from our Client

"In working with LI Group, US Cellular and its construction/design/facilities/real estate arms were looking for a long term relationship that could offer a soup to nuts solution to our varied retail needs. This included minor construction and maintenance from our facilities group all the way up to and including full store remodel rollouts spanning hundreds of locations across the entire United States. What we received was a company truly invested in our success as well as theirs; a partner. One that was willing to look at the big picture, and the end game and ride with the ever changing retail landscape. We brought LI group in at a pivotal point in our retail evolution and through their ability to cost-effectively manage large-scale projects with varying scopes and schedules we have transformed nearly 1,000 of our retail spaces. We truly appreciate all that LI Group has done four our business, and all that they continue to do."
