Strong partnerships also played a key role. Collaboration between contractors, subcontractors, and stakeholders ensured alignment throughout the project.
Because of this, the team maintained productivity and delivered consistent results despite unpredictable weather.

Restaurant Construction Contractor in Minnesota: Strack Begins Dave’s Hot Chicken Project in Oak Park Heights
As a leading restaurant construction contractor in Minnesota, Strack Construction has officially started work on a new Dave’s Hot Chicken location in Oak Park Heights, MN. This project continues the rapid growth of the brand across the state and strengthens Strack’s long-standing partnership with franchise group MN Chicken.
The Oak Park Heights location follows closely behind another Dave’s Hot Chicken project currently underway in Edina. Together, these projects highlight the continued demand for fast-casual restaurant concepts throughout the Twin Cities region. With construction now underway, the Oak Park Heights location is scheduled to open at the end of May.
Continuing a Strong Partnership with MN Chicken
This project represents another milestone in Strack Construction’s relationship with MN Chicken. The Oak Park Heights restaurant marks the 8th Dave’s Hot Chicken location in Minnesota for MN Chicken and the 10th Dave’s Hot Chicken Strack Construction has built overall.
Building multiple locations for the same franchise group requires consistency, efficiency, and attention to brand standards. Over time, our team has developed a deep understanding of Dave’s Hot Chicken’s design requirements, operational flow, and construction specifications.
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
One of the most exciting aspects of this project is the transformation of an existing site. The new restaurant is being built within a former Taco John’s property, giving new life to a previously vacated space.
Redevelopment projects like this require thoughtful planning and coordination. Existing structures often need updates to support modern restaurant operations. Our team carefully evaluates the building, infrastructure, and layout before construction begins.
Once complete, the updated Dave’s Hot Chicken will feature:
- A convenient drive-thru lane
- Spacious indoor dining areas
- A welcoming outdoor patio for guests
By repurposing an existing building, the project supports efficient development while revitalizing the surrounding commercial area.
Building High-Energy Restaurant Spaces
Fast-casual restaurant construction requires careful attention to detail. Kitchen workflow, customer flow, and brand design all play important roles in the final result.
Strack Construction specializes in restaurant construction, franchise buildouts, and tenant improvement projects across Minnesota. Our team understands the pace and coordination required to deliver high-performing restaurant environments.
Because of this experience, projects stay organized and predictable. Trades work efficiently, and schedules remain on track.
Progress Underway in Oak Park Heights
Construction crews are currently working on the Oak Park Heights site. Over the coming months, the building will transform into a vibrant new destination for Dave’s Hot Chicken fans.
Projects like this showcase the value of strong collaboration. Ownership groups, designers, subcontractors, and inspectors all play important roles in delivering a successful restaurant build.
Strack Construction looks forward to sharing additional updates as progress continues.
As a trusted restaurant construction contractor in Minnesota, Strack Construction is proud to support growing brands like Dave’s Hot Chicken as they expand across the region.
Ground-Up Restaurant Construction in Minnesota: Strack Opens Two New Chipotle Locations
As a trusted leader in ground-up restaurant construction in Minnesota, Strack Construction is proud to celebrate the opening of two brand-new Chipotle locations in Winona and Lexington, Minnesota. Both restaurants officially opened this week and represent another milestone in Chipotle’s continued growth across the state.
These projects highlight Strack Construction’s experience delivering efficient, high-quality restaurant builds that support nationally recognized brands and growing communities.
Built from the Ground Up
Ground-up restaurant projects require detailed coordination from the earliest phases of development through final completion. Site preparation, utilities, scheduling, and trade coordination all play important roles in keeping projects moving efficiently.
For both the Winona and Lexington locations, Strack Construction worked closely with project partners to maintain momentum and deliver spaces ready for opening day.
Additionally, each site was designed to support long-term operational efficiency while maintaining Chipotle’s recognizable brand standards.
Featuring the Popular Chipotlane Experience
Both new restaurants include Chipotle’s increasingly popular Chipotlane feature. This digital-order pickup lane allows customers to place orders online and quickly retrieve meals without leaving their vehicles.
As customer demand for convenience continues growing, restaurants are evolving to support faster and more streamlined service models. Because of this, construction planning must account for traffic flow, accessibility, and operational efficiency from the start.
The Chipotlane design creates a smoother customer experience while supporting higher order volume and improved functionality for restaurant staff.
Supporting Growth Across Minnesota
Chipotle continues expanding throughout Minnesota, bringing new dining options to communities across the region. Projects like these contribute to local economic growth while adding modern restaurant spaces designed for today’s consumers.
Strack Construction takes pride in helping national brands successfully enter and grow within local markets. From site development to final finishes, the team focuses on delivering reliable construction solutions that align with each client’s goals.
Because restaurant schedules often move quickly, strong communication and organization remain essential throughout every phase of construction.
Building Long-Term Brand Partnerships
At Strack Construction, successful projects are built on strong relationships and consistent execution. Repeat partnerships with growing brands demonstrate the trust clients place in the team’s ability to deliver dependable results.
As an experienced provider of ground-up restaurant construction in Minnesota, Strack Construction prioritizes:
- Reliable scheduling
- Clear communication
- Efficient project coordination
- Consistent quality across locations
These principles help support continued franchise growth while ensuring projects stay on track.
Celebrating Another Successful Opening
The opening of these two Chipotle locations marks another exciting achievement for everyone involved. Strack Construction congratulates the project teams, ownership groups, and trade partners who helped bring these restaurants to life.
We’re proud to continue supporting projects that strengthen communities, create jobs, and deliver high-quality dining experiences throughout Minnesota.
Retail Development Contractor in Minnesota: Strack Earns RENET Project Award
As an experienced retail development contractor in Minnesota, Strack Construction is proud to announce recognition from the newly rebranded Retail Real Estate Network (RENET), formerly known as the Minnesota Shopping Center Association (MSCA). The award recognized Strack Construction’s work on the new Domino’s location in Corcoran, Minnesota, completed in partnership with THIELEN & GREEN.
This recognition highlights the value of strong collaboration, thoughtful design, and quality execution within Minnesota’s evolving retail construction industry.
Recognized for Retail Project Excellence
The award-winning Domino’s project reflects the type of commercial development work Strack Construction continues to deliver across Minnesota. Retail projects require careful coordination between ownership groups, architects, contractors, and municipalities. Because of this, communication and consistency remain essential from start to finish.
The Corcoran Domino’s location combined efficient construction planning with brand-focused execution. As a result, the completed space supports both operational performance and customer experience.
Projects like this demonstrate how strong partnerships contribute to successful outcomes across retail development.
Partnering with THIELEN & GREEN
Strack Construction proudly partnered with THIELEN & GREEN on the Domino’s project. Their thoughtful design and collaborative approach helped bring the vision for the space to life.
Successful retail construction depends on alignment between design intent and field execution. Throughout the project, teams worked closely together to maintain schedules, solve challenges, and ensure quality across every phase of construction.
Because of this collaborative process, the project delivered a finished product that reflects both functionality and strong visual design.
MSCA Transitions to RENET
The recognition also comes during an important transition within Minnesota’s retail real estate industry. The Minnesota Shopping Center Association recently rebranded as the Retail Real Estate Network (RENET) to better reflect the evolving retail development landscape.
The organization continues serving developers, brokers, property managers, contractors, and other professionals throughout the retail real estate industry. The updated name reflects a broader and more connected vision for the future of commercial retail development in Minnesota.
Strack Construction is grateful to be part of this growing and evolving industry community.
Supporting Retail Growth Across Minnesota
Retail construction continues adapting to changing customer expectations, redevelopment trends, and new tenant experiences. Projects like the Corcoran Domino’s demonstrate how thoughtful development can support local communities while strengthening commercial growth.
As a trusted retail development contractor in Minnesota, Strack Construction focuses on:
- Reliable project coordination
- Clear communication
- Strong partnerships
- Consistent quality execution
These principles help create successful retail spaces designed for long-term performance.
Celebrating a Successful Team Effort
Strack Construction extends a sincere thank you to the Retail Real Estate Network community for the recognition. We also congratulate our project partners, subcontractors, and team members who helped make this project possible.
Recognition like this reflects the effort and dedication of everyone involved. We look forward to continuing to support retail development projects across Minnesota and building strong industry partnerships along the way.
