Manage projects, coordinate teams, and master your company with Basecamp

Managing a second store opening

Opening a second store means doing everything again while the first one stays open. Basecamp keeps construction, permits, hiring, and inventory in one project, so the new store opens on time and the first one doesn’t miss a beat.

A second location project in Basecamp with a Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, a Calendar, and a Card Table

The owners share an update six weeks before opening on the Message Board and keep storefront ideas and construction photos in Docs & Files. To-dos split construction, hiring, and inventory, the Calendar holds the final inspection and shelving install, and permits move from applied to passed on a Card Table.
