As a result, each new project benefits from lessons learned on previous builds. This experience allows Strack Construction to deliver restaurant spaces faster while maintaining the brand’s high-energy identity.
Transforming an Existing Property

Location & Building Strategy
The new Dave’s Hot Chicken is located within an active commercial corridor in Edina. Restaurant construction in these environments requires careful coordination. However, Strack Construction manages schedules and logistics with precision.
Strip center and infill restaurant projects demand flexibility. Deliveries, inspections, and utility work must align closely. As a result, Strack’s team plans site access and sequencing well in advance.
Because of this approach, surrounding businesses experience minimal disruption. Safety, cleanliness, and communication stay front and center throughout construction.

Commercial Construction Contractor in Wisconsin: Strack Begins Mister Car Wash Project in Green Bay
As a leading commercial construction contractor in Wisconsin, Strack Construction has officially begun work on a new Mister Car Wash location in Green Bay. The site sits just minutes from Lambeau Field, making it a convenient stop for customers throughout the area. Construction started in December and is scheduled for completion in Spring 2026.
This project reflects Strack Construction’s continued commitment to supporting growing national brands while revitalizing existing properties.
Redeveloping an Existing Site
The new Mister Car Wash is a full redevelopment of a former KFC property. Transforming an existing restaurant site into a modern car wash facility requires careful planning and coordination. The building footprint, utilities, and site layout all demand strategic adjustments.
Because redevelopment projects often present unknown conditions, early evaluation plays a critical role. Strack Construction works proactively to assess infrastructure and identify improvements before major work begins. As a result, the team maintains steady progress throughout construction.
Revitalizing underutilized sites benefits both property owners and the surrounding community. This approach supports smart growth while reducing unnecessary expansion into new land.
Designed for High-Volume Performance
A key feature of this project is the 130-foot wash tunnel. This extended tunnel length supports efficient, high-volume throughput while delivering a consistent customer experience. Modern car wash construction requires detailed coordination of structural, mechanical, and electrical systems.
Each component must align precisely to ensure smooth operation. For this reason, the Strack team collaborates closely with engineers and equipment vendors throughout the process.
In addition, site flow and traffic patterns play an important role in overall performance. Clear entry and exit points help customers move through the property safely and efficiently.
Supporting a Growing National Brand
