## Story

Coeur d'Alene, ID - Konala has announced strategic partnerships with Citadel Development and Omni Capital Development to support the brand's next phase of growth.

Together, these partnerships create a streamlined system to help franchisees develop, build, and operate locations more efficiently as Konala expands across the country.

Citadel Development, the turnkey construction firm behind brands like 7 Brew Coffee and Smalls Sliders, will serve as Konala's preferred national design-build partner, providing full-service support from site feasibility and permitting through construction and opening.

Konala has also partnered with Omni Capital Development, a national build-to-suit developer whose leadership team has worked with major brands including Starbucks, Chipotle, Walgreens, and Raising Cane's. The partnership enables qualified franchisees to access development support for new construction locations while reducing upfront development complexity.

"Partnering with Omni gives us another competitive advantage," said Miller. "It allows qualified franchisees to move quickly on prime real estate and get their stores open faster, while maintaining the high standards and streamlined model that make Konala so scalable."

As Konala continues expanding nationwide, these partnerships provide franchisees with access to the same caliber of development, construction, and operational support typically associated with much larger franchise systems. Together, they create a foundation designed to help franchisees open faster, operate more efficiently, and scale with confidence.
