The efforts successfully redesigned a nearly unusable narrow booth area to resemble a train dining car, with areas to showcase clients and services. A custom-designed reservation app controlled traffic and food costs and featured real-time ordering. Diners were limited to JLL employees dining with clients, which resulted in personalized service, enhancing the overall client experience.

Several counselors working within the community school systems informed the center that students were either coming to school without shoes or with shoes that did not fit; they estimated that there was a need for 1,600+ pairs of new shoes. The team pulled together a media and promotional partner with six Branson Landing shoe retailers and Branson Landing’s School Shoes for Kids was born.
