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.
