Taylor's Stop & Shop

What We Built

• Speed, Tech Stack & Mobile-First Architecture

  Engineered a sub-second, ultra-responsive single-page application (SPA) utilizing React 18, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Vite. Designed mobile-first with custom brand typography (Playfair Display paired with Google Sans Kohinoor), automated scroll-to-top route restoration, Framer Motion micro-interactions, and a persistent floating cart drawer optimized for one-thumb mobile checkout.

• Independent E-Commerce & Multi-Fulfillment Ordering Engine

  Built a native online ordering system with zero marketplace commission fees. Features a persistent client-side cart system (CartContext + local storage synchronization), category filtering, real-time subtotal calculation, and a Zod-validated multi-step checkout funnel supporting both in-store pickup and local delivery with dynamic cash or card settlement workflows.

• Frictionless Call-to-Action & Real-Time Operational Telemetry

  Implemented dynamic store-hour status logic computed directly in Central Time (America/Chicago), projecting an animated "Open Now / Closed" indicator across the global navigation and location page. Positioned instant high-intent CTAs including direct click-to-call triggers ((224) 656-5120), turn-by-turn Google Maps dispatch routing, and immediate order initialization.

• Categorized Inventory Architecture & Real-World Photo Showcases

  Organized an extensive local inventory across distinct product verticals (Hot Drinks & Starbucks Coffee, Chicago-Style Hot Food, Deli Sandwiches, Cold Beverages, Snacks, and Daily Essentials) backed by authentic high-resolution store photography. Integrated dedicated informational modules for high-margin in-store utility services, specifically the Illinois Lottery machine and on-premise Bitcoin ATM.

• Geotargeted Local SEO & Search Readiness

  Structured page-level OpenGraph metadata, crawlable semantic HTML5 hierarchy, and geo-targeted local keywords anchored to Gurnee, IL (Manchester & Route 21 corridor). Engineered for maximum local pack visibility, fast indexing, and neighborhood search intent capture.

• Trust Elements, Verified Proof & Social Validation Integration

  Embedded authentic customer reviews sourced directly from Google and Yelp alongside trust badges highlighting local family ownership, freshly made Chicago specials, and customer satisfaction guarantees to maximize buyer confidence on first visit.
