When a high-volume convenience store like Speedway needs to upgrade its kitchen, shutting down isn’t an option. That’s why ZVS was brought in to manage a fast-turnaround installation that met strict health, fire, and operational standards—all without interrupting daily business.
This project was executed over a series of carefully phased overnight installs. The ZVS team coordinated the removal of outdated systems, installation of new custom ventilation equipment, and full integration of cooking and oil management systems, turning the space over by 5:00 AM each morning for regular café service.
