Cintas – Fort Myers Facility Consolidation

The Challenge

When Cintas decided to consolidate its Fort Myers operations, the project involved much more than simply moving from one building to another. The company needed to relocate a 20,000-square-foot warehouse and 10,000-square-foot office into a new facility that was approximately half the size of the existing operation.

The relocation presented several complex challenges:

Downsizing warehouse inventory and office furniture to fit a significantly smaller footprint.
Removing and disposing of a ceiling-mounted warehouse crane.
Completing landlord-required building restorations for lease turnover.
Coordinating multiple third-party vendors throughout the project.
Supporting a local team with little prior relocation experience.
Maintaining daily business operations with minimal disruption.

Because the primary Cintas decision-maker was based in Cincinnati, Ohio, they also needed a trusted partner capable of leading the project independently while providing consistent communication and updates

The OMA Solution

Having successfully completed numerous projects for Cintas throughout the United States and Canada, OMA was able to leverage years of institutional knowledge and proven best practices specific to the client’s operational needs. To ensure every aspect of the project received dedicated attention, OMA assigned two on-site Project Managers: One Project Manager focused on furniture planning, space utilization, and ensuring existing FF&E would be successfully integrated into the new, smaller facility. A second Project Manager coordinated all third-party vendors, building restorations, landlord requirements, and overall project logistics. By serving as the single point of coordination, OMA eliminated unnecessary complexity for the client while keeping leadership informed throughout every phase of the relocation. OMA provided comprehensive project leadership, including:

Full relocation management

Space planning and furniture optimization

Installation and reconfiguration service
