We’re excited to highlight the groundbreaking of two new Chipotle Mexican Grill locations, one in Menomonie, WI, and another in Cambridge, MN.
Construction in Menomonie is already moving quickly after demolition of a former Denny’s restaurant began in early April, and the Cambridge location officially kicks off this week. It’s always exciting to see these projects take shape from the ground up and continue bringing nationally recognized brands into growing communities.
In addition to these new ground-up locations, our team is also several weeks into a Chipotle Mexican Grill tenant improvement project on Plymouth Road in Minnetonka. From site work to interior buildout coordination, it’s great to see progress continuing across multiple Chipotle projects at the same time as we help prepare another location for customers in the west metro.
We’re proud to continue our partnership with Chipotle and grateful for the teams, trade partners, and field crews helping keep these projects moving forward.

Winter Commercial Construction: How Strack Construction Delivers Results Year-Round
Winter commercial construction presents unique challenges across Minnesota. Cold temperatures, snow, and shorter days can impact schedules and site conditions. However, with the right planning and experience, winter does not need to slow progress. At Strack Construction, our team understands how to keep commercial projects moving safely and efficiently throughout the colder months.
As a trusted multi-tenant building contractor, Strack Construction approaches winter projects with preparation and precision. From early scheduling decisions to proactive site management, every step focuses on maintaining momentum while protecting quality.
Planning Ahead for Winter Conditions
Successful winter commercial construction starts long before temperatures drop. Early planning allows our team to adjust timelines, sequence work properly, and coordinate trades effectively. For example, interior work often becomes the focus during winter months. This approach reduces weather-related risks and keeps crews productive.
Additionally, proper material handling and storage become critical in cold conditions. Strack Construction plans deliveries carefully to avoid damage and delays. As a result, projects stay on track even when outdoor work becomes limited.
Expertise in Tenant Improvement Spaces
Winter can be an ideal time to complete tenant improvement spaces, especially in occupied or multi-tenant buildings. Interior buildouts allow businesses to prepare for spring openings while minimizing disruption to surrounding tenants.
Strack Construction specializes in tenant improvement spaces across retail, office, and commercial environments. Our team coordinates closely with property managers and tenants to maintain clean, safe job sites. Meanwhile, clear communication ensures everyone understands schedules and expectations.
Because much of the work occurs indoors, winter conditions have less impact. This makes winter a strategic season for renovations, rebrands, and space updates.
Multi-Tenant Construction Requires Coordination
Working as a multi-tenant building contractor demands attention to detail year-round. During winter, that responsibility increases. Snow management, safe access, and noise control all require extra planning.
At Strack Construction, we manage these details carefully. We communicate proactively with property owners and tenants. For this reason, projects progress smoothly without unnecessary interruptions. This approach builds trust and long-term relationships.
A Local Example: Rush Creek in Maple Grove
Projects like Rush Creek in Maple Grove demonstrate how winter commercial construction can succeed with the right contractor. Multi-tenant developments require precise scheduling, strong coordination, and adaptability. Winter conditions add another layer of complexity.
Strack Construction brings local experience to projects like Rush Creek. Our understanding of Minnesota winters allows us to anticipate challenges and respond quickly. As a result, interior buildouts and tenant improvements continue without sacrificing quality or safety.
Built to Perform in Every Season
Winter commercial construction does not have to mean delays or compromised results. With experience, preparation, and clear communication, projects can move forward confidently.
Strack Construction delivers commercial spaces that perform year-round. Whether you need a reliable multi-tenant building contractor, upgrades to tenant improvement spaces, or construction support in locations like Rush Creek in Maple Grove, our team is ready to help.

This Edina restaurant marks the seventh project Strack Construction has completed for MN Chicken. The partnership spans every Dave’s Hot Chicken location the franchisee has opened in Minnesota.
Meanwhile, Strack Construction has also completed two additional Dave’s Hot Chicken locations for another franchise group. In total, this project represents Strack’s ninth Dave’s Hot Chicken build to date.
Because of this repeat work, the partnership continues to grow. Each project benefits from lessons learned on previous locations. Clear communication and consistent results remain the foundation of that trust.
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.
Schedule & Delivery
Schedule is critical for franchise restaurant construction. Opening dates impact staffing, marketing, and revenue. For this reason, Strack Construction emphasizes proactive planning from day one.
The team coordinates trades, inspections, and material deliveries closely. Meanwhile, consistent site supervision keeps work moving forward. As a result, the Edina Dave’s Hot Chicken project is positioned for an efficient build timeline.
Every phase matters. From early groundwork through final finishes, Strack Construction stays focused on delivery.
Strack Construction Expertise
Strack Construction specializes as a Midwest restaurant contractor for growing franchise brands. The team understands the demands of fast-paced restaurant environments. Every day on the schedule counts.

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
Mister Car Wash operates more than 500 locations nationwide and continues expanding across the Midwest. Growth at this scale requires reliable construction partners who understand brand standards and schedule expectations.
Strack Construction brings that experience to every project. Clear communication, organized scheduling, and disciplined site management keep builds moving forward. Meanwhile, quality control ensures the finished facility meets brand expectations.
Projects like this demonstrate how commercial construction supports long-term business growth.
Construction Underway in Green Bay
With work already in progress, the Green Bay community can expect a fresh new amenity in Spring 2026. The location’s proximity to Lambeau Field makes it a convenient addition for both residents and visitors.
As an experienced commercial construction contractor in Wisconsin, Strack Construction takes pride in delivering projects that combine redevelopment, performance, and brand consistency.
We look forward to sharing progress updates as construction continues and the project takes shape.
Mall Restaurant Construction in Minnesota: Strack Builds Roni’s Mac Bar at MOA
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.

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.

The new Mister Car Wash is officially up and running!
Exciting news in Eden Prairie! The new Mister Car Wash is officially up and running, and it’s already one of the busiest stores in the region, processing 140+ vehicles an hour!
This awesome new facility is a fantastic example of innovation and sustainability in action. Here are a few highlights that make this location truly stand out:
🔷 Geopier Foundation: Due to the unique soil conditions in the area, the building is supported by aggregate piers (Geopiers), which help ensure stability and support for the long-term durability of the structure.
🔷 Water Conservation: Mister Car Wash is committed to sustainability with a reclaim system that allows the reuse of water, reducing overall consumption and minimizing environmental impact.
🔷 Stormwater Management: The new location features an advanced stormwater filtration system, which not only helps collect and manage stormwater but also repurposes it for irrigation, making the site more eco-friendly.
We’re proud to see this impressive facility open its doors in Eden Prairie, providing a top-tier car wash experience while prioritizing environmental responsibility. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this project to life! 🌱 💧🚙
