Operating from Austin, The Retail Strategy supports Russo’s national expansion efforts.

“When I signed on to become a franchisee, I was incredibly busy trying to get all of the pieces of the puzzle together,” said Richard Martinez, a co-owner of the Tulsa Russo’s Coal-Fired Italian Kitchen, which he opened in 2013. “Thankfully, Russo’s set me up with The Retail Strategy and both teams were there to guide me – they made sure that I had the best location and lease. I couldn’t have done it without them.”
