ShaneCon transformed a tired Applebee’s in Lakeville, MN, into a vibrant new restaurant with a fresh, modern design. The renovation involved a complete overhaul of the interior and exterior, removing all traces of the former chain to create a unique and inviting dining experience.
Project Details
The renovation of this former Applebee’s in Lakeville, MN, was a complete transformation into a fresh, vibrant dining space tailored to the client’s vision. The project focused on modernizing the layout, improving functionality, and introducing custom design elements while maintaining cost efficiency. Key features included:
Open Floor Plan: Removed the sunken bar, bulkheads, and façade to create an open-ceiling layout with custom-built seating for a spacious and inviting atmosphere.
Upgraded Bar Area: Installed a 40-tap cooler and custom bottle storage racking, making the bar a central feature of the restaurant.
Full Interior & Exterior Renovation: Completely remodeled restrooms and redesigned the entrance façade to eliminate all traces of the former Applebee’s branding.
New Flooring & Finishes: Introduced wood flooring and tile throughout while repurposing existing millwork in key areas to reduce renovation costs.
Enhanced Kitchen Functionality: Upgraded the back of house to support a new menu, including the addition of a large gas-fired pizza oven, which required structural modifications to the exterior wall.
Accelerated Timeline: Managed an expedited construction schedule in close coordination with the client, design team, and equipment suppliers to meet the target spring opening.
