From the show floor, at the Mid-America Restaurant Expo, I had a chance to talk with a good friend of mine Mike Rodemann, Vice President of Operations, The Hillson Nut Company, Cleveland, OH. The Hillson Nut Company was an exhibitor at the the Mid-America trade show. The trade show was designed around the Pizza, Ice Cream, Food Truck, Casual and Fine dinning businesses.

Mike also told me that ice cream owners should be aware of the current….. bubble in the pecan market.

I first meet with Kurt Dehner, owner of Sisters Sweet Shoppe , Dublin, Ohio, USA, on April 15, 2015. I was introduced by my good friend Matt Wilicoxin with Johnson’s Real Ice Cream, Columbus, OH. I had the pleasure to work with Kurt on the design & layout of his new shoppe. See below how Kurt and the team went from a rough design to a finished beautiful store layout.
Step 1, New Store Design – Rough Draft Store Design Concept
Step 2, Once Kurt agreed on the rough concept we moved to the next rough design.
Rough Design Option #1
Step 3, Option #2 (below) was chosen and it was sent to the building engineer for detailed drawings for local community code approvals. Electrical, water, sewer, lighting, and construction needs were detailed at this point. At this point I become the building consultant for my customer.
Rough Design Option #2
