RESTAURANTS - CHAINS
Brinker International
Nationwide
Design of the prototypical and special restaurants. Current concept designs are Chili's, Maggiano's, Romano’s Macaroni Grill, and Corner Bakery. In the past we have been involved with the schemes of On the Border, Spageddies, Grady's and Cozymel’s. These buildings are framed with all types of building materials depending on location and code requirements. Brinker has been a client of the firm for eleven years and a client of the President for twenty years.
We currently produce over one hundred projects for Brinker International per year. These include “Specials”. These are stores that are in shopping malls (on various levels), old retail centers, old restaurants or other structures that require upgrading, expansion or modification to meet their usage requirements.
TGI Fridays
Nationwide
Designs of the prototypical and remodeled restaurants. These designs have been produced locally as well as in the heavy snow loads of the east and northeastern states. These designs incorporate a combination of wood and steel.
Starbuck’s
West Coast
There are two types of projects for Starbuck’s. One is the freestanding prototype framed with wood (typically) that has been sited in primarily the western states. The other type involves an attached retail space. This additional space can be from 1,000 to 20,000 square feet. Based upon the retail these are steel framed or wood and conform to the design intent of the shopping area.
