As a leader in mall restaurant construction in Minnesota, Strack Construction is proud to announce construction is underway on Roni’s Mac Bar at the Mall of America. This exciting project brings the viral mac & cheese concept to Minnesota for the very first time, introducing the brand to one of the country’s most recognizable retail destinations.

Located on the third floor of the Mall of America, the new restaurant represents another example of Strack Construction partnering with growing national brands to create memorable customer experiences.

Bringing a Viral Brand to Minnesota

Roni’s Mac Bar has built a strong national following through its customizable comfort food concept and strong social media presence. Known for creative mac & cheese bowls, grilled cheese sandwiches, and loaded menu options, the brand continues expanding into new markets across the country.

This new Mall of America location marks the company’s first entry into Minnesota. Because of the visibility and traffic generated by the mall, the project creates an exciting opportunity to introduce the concept to a completely new audience.

Projects like this require more than standard restaurant construction. They demand coordination, flexibility, and an understanding of high-traffic retail environments.

Building Inside an Iconic Destination

Construction inside the Mall of America presents unique logistical challenges. Scheduling, deliveries, trade coordination, and tenant requirements all require detailed planning. As a result, communication and organization become critical throughout every phase of the project.

Strack Construction works closely with ownership, vendors, and mall management to maintain efficiency while minimizing disruption within the active retail environment.

The Mall of America continues to evolve with new dining and entertainment concepts that attract millions of visitors annually. Projects like Roni’s Mac Bar contribute to that ongoing growth and energy.

Expanding Beyond Mall of America

This project is only the beginning of Roni’s Mac Bar expansion in Minnesota. In addition to the Mall of America location, Strack Construction is currently involved in the design phase for a second Minnesota restaurant planned for the Dinkytown neighborhood in Minneapolis.

Expanding brands often require construction partners who can support multiple locations while maintaining consistency across every build. Because of this, long-term partnerships become essential for successful growth.

Strack Construction focuses on delivering restaurant spaces that align with brand identity, operational efficiency, and customer experience.

Supporting Bold Restaurant Concepts

At Strack Construction, projects like this reflect the company’s passion for helping bold brands enter new markets. Restaurant construction continues to evolve as brands focus more heavily on experience, visibility, and customer engagement.

As an experienced provider of mall restaurant construction in Minnesota, Strack Construction prioritizes:

• Clear communication
• Efficient scheduling
• Consistent quality
• Long-term client partnerships

These principles help ensure projects stay on track while supporting future expansion.

A New Experience Coming to Mall of America

As construction continues, excitement is building around the arrival of Roni’s Mac Bar in Minnesota. The project will soon bring a highly recognizable and fast-growing concept to one of the busiest retail destinations in the country.

Strack Construction is proud to help bring this vision to life and looks forward to sharing additional progress updates as the project moves closer to completion. Be sure to check out other projects we are currently working on.
