    This led to a remarkable opportunities. 

    Anthony and his team revolutionized the construction timeline for Discovery Zone playgrounds, reducing it to an impressive duration of just under seven days. 

    He leveraged his expertise to excel at Boston Chicken (now known as Boston Market), Einstein Bagels, Au Bon Pain, and Panera Bread. In each case, his outstanding performance resulted in him essentially working himself out of a job.

With a prestigious client roster including Hampton Inn & Suites, McDonald's, Starbucks, TGI Friday's, Kate Spade, Gap, Mac Cosmetics, Ann Taylor, and Dunkin' Brands, it's evident why CDO Group became a highly sought-after company.
