When Fujiyama Japanese Steakhouse, a beloved Olympia restaurant, faced relocation pressure from their landlord,, PDK Corporation stepped in to manage the entire transition. We successfully transformed a former retail space into a high-capacity, fully equipped restaurant. Despite the complexities of a total "Change of Use" and a high-pressure timeline, our team expedited the permitting and construction process, ensuring Fujiyama reopened ahead of schedule without a single day of business disruption.
