Posted on by Jacki Mager

As a leader in fast casual restaurant construction in Minnesota, Strack Construction is proud to celebrate the grand opening of a new Wingstop location in Bloomington. Built for our valued partners at OM Group, the restaurant officially opened its doors on February 24th and is now serving the community.

This project reflects Strack Construction’s continued ability to deliver efficient, high-quality builds for growing national restaurant brands.

Supporting Continued Franchise Growth

Wingstop continues to expand across Minnesota and beyond. Projects like this require a construction partner who understands the speed and consistency needed for franchise growth.

Strack Construction worked closely with OM Group throughout the process. From early coordination through final delivery, the team stayed aligned on schedule, expectations, and brand standards.

As a result, the project moved forward smoothly and opened on time.

Delivering a Consistent Brand Experience

Fast casual restaurant construction requires attention to detail at every stage. Layout, finishes, and flow all contribute to a consistent customer experience.

Strack Construction ensured the Bloomington location reflects Wingstop’s recognizable design and operational standards. At the same time, the space was built to support efficient kitchen operations and customer flow.

Because of this focus, the finished restaurant delivers both performance and brand consistency.

Coordinated Construction from Start to Finish

Strong coordination played a key role in the success of this project. The Strack team managed scheduling, trade partners, and final finishes with precision.

Additionally, clear communication between all stakeholders helped keep the project on track. When challenges arose, the team responded quickly and maintained progress.

This approach ensures predictable outcomes and reduces delays across franchise builds.

Building for Long-Term Partnerships

At Strack Construction, every project supports a larger goal. Building long-term relationships with franchise partners allows for more efficient future projects and continued growth.

As an experienced provider of fast casual restaurant construction in Minnesota, Strack Construction focuses on:

  • Reliable timelines

  • Repeatable success across locations

These principles help national brands scale with confidence.

A Successful Opening in Bloomington

Retail Construction Contractor in Minnesota: Strack Completes Floyd’s 99 Barbershop in Maple Grove

Posted on by Jacki Mager

As a trusted retail construction contractor in Minnesota, Strack Construction is proud to announce the completion of another Floyd’s 99 Barbershop location. This project marks the third Floyd’s 99 Barbershop our team has partnered on with this Denver-based franchisee. From early site selection through final grand opening preparations, Strack remained involved every step of the way.

This project reflects the depth of partnership and full-service support we bring to every retail buildout.

A True Start-to-Finish Partnership

Successful retail construction requires more than simply building walls and finishes. It demands planning, budgeting, coordination, and strategic decision-making from day one. On this Floyd’s 99 Barbershop project, Strack Construction supported the franchisee through:

  • Site selection evaluation
  • Budget development
  • Design coordination
  • Permitting and approvals
  • Full construction through completion

Because of this comprehensive approach, the project moved efficiently from concept to completion. Early involvement allowed the team to anticipate challenges and streamline the overall timeline.

Retail spaces often require careful coordination with landlords, brokers, and municipalities. As a result, strong communication plays a key role in keeping projects on track.

Bringing the Floyd’s 99 Brand to Life

Floyd’s 99 Barbershop operates approximately 140 locations across 14 states. The brand is widely recognized for its high-energy atmosphere, rock-and-roll aesthetic, and full-service grooming experience. Each location blends classic barbering traditions with modern style.

For this reason, construction must reflect the brand’s identity. Interior finishes, lighting, layout, and design details all contribute to the final experience.

Strack Construction works closely with franchise partners to ensure brand standards remain consistent. At the same time, each location adapts to its specific market and footprint.

Located at Rice Lake Plaza in Maple Grove

This 1,078-square-foot Floyd’s 99 Barbershop is located at Rice Lake Plaza (13760 83rd Way N) in Maple Grove, Minnesota. The shopping center offers strong visibility and convenient access for guests.

Retail tenant buildouts within multi-tenant centers require careful coordination. Construction crews must manage schedules while minimizing disruption to neighboring businesses. Strack Construction approaches these projects with clear communication and organized site management.

The planned opening date is March 13th, bringing a new grooming destination to the Maple Grove community.

Collaboration Drives Every Project Forward

Projects like this succeed because of strong partnerships. Special thanks to Lauren Kessler for brokering the deal and helping move the project forward. Early collaboration between brokers, franchisees, designers, and contractors creates smoother outcomes and fewer surprises.

As an experienced retail construction contractor in Minnesota, Strack Construction focuses on long-term relationships. Repeat partnerships demonstrate trust, reliability, and consistent performance.

We appreciate the continued confidence from this Denver-based franchise group. We look forward to supporting future growth and bringing more high-quality retail spaces to life.

Mall Restaurant Construction in Minnesota: Strack Builds Roni’s Mac Bar at MOA

Posted on by Jacki Mager

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.
