CHICAGO, IL (Feb. 3, 2014) – Englewood Construction, one of
the country’s leading commercial construction firms, has announced its food
service group has begun work on two new food service-related projects and
completed two more, with three in the Chicago market and one in Wixom, Mich.
“Interior build outs and remodeling projects in the
restaurant and grocery markets kept us busy last year and that trend is continuing
in 2014,” said William Di Santo, president of Lemont, Ill.-based
Englewood Construction. “Customer demand and the need for national food service
providers to stay competitive are driving these projects.”
Rosemont, Ill.-based
US Foods, Inc., a leading food company and distributor to restaurants,
healthcare, hospitality, government and educational facilities, hired Englewood
Construction to remodel its test kitchen and training facility in Wixom, Mich.
In early December, Englewood began the interior remodel of
the 1,800-square-foot space to accommodate the latest kitchen and training
equipment. The project is scheduled to be complete in late February.
Wisconsin-based ESI Design Services is the project architect.
“US Foods offers
more than 350,000 products that are “Keeping Kitchens Cooking” nationwide,” Di
Santo said.

“Development of these products originates in the company’s test
kitchens and training facilities, so our goal was to create an environment that
fosters creativity and cutting-edge culinary discoveries.”
US Foods operates over 60 test kitchens across the country
where US Foods chefs help customers stay abreast of culinary trends, increase
sales and manage costs.
Another Englewood
project, which began in mid-December, is the interior build-out of the 23rd
Street Café at McCormick Place in Chicago. Savor, the food and beverage
supplier to McCormick Place, hired Englewood for the 4,379-square-foot
build-out, which includes adding a bridge walkway in the existing concourse.
Designed by Wilmette, Ill.-based Sarfatty Architects, it is scheduled to be
complete in early-March.
