PROJECT SITE: Lexington, KY

DECOR: Fast Casual

Case Study:

Presented with the initiative of unifying corporate image and increasing sales, Fazoli’s sought FCI’s turn-key services. FCI surveyed several markets before developing a custom-designed interior and exterior package, evoking the spirit of family, fun and great food.

Building exteriors varied from location to location and therefore lacked Brand essence. FCI’s exterior implementation not only unified the Brand, but also intensified street presence. Individualized exterior design elements were eliminated. Brighter lighting, exterior painting, bright red awnings and green shutters create an updated & crisp welcome. FCI’s knowledge in ADA guidelines brought parking lots, drive-thru, curbs and restrooms to appropriate standards.

Rich warm earth tones with copper accents create an inviting environment. Large community tables centrally located promote a sense of connectedness for both families and friends enjoying meals together. Beverage bars/ condiment stands were moved to create better privacy. Mixed seating options, such as booths and two seat tables add flexibility. Lifestyle images promote the mood of the décor. “The whole restaurant just has a much more open, ]airy feel to it,” Chief Executive Officer Bob Weissmueller said.

FCI turn-key service included:

  • Site store surveys
  • Individual store designs
  • Supplying all equipment/fixtures
  • All GC scope - including exterior upgrades
