Commercial Remodel Bakery Build Out - Morton Grove, IL

Before: Transforming a Blank Canvas

The bakery build-out project in Morton Grove, IL, started with a blank industrial canvas. The space featured exposed concrete walls, unfinished floors, and visible ceiling beams, giving it a raw, utilitarian appearance. 

Lighting was functional but lacked the brightness necessary for a modern commercial kitchen. Equipment and storage solutions were non-existent, making the space ill-suited for bakery operations.

The wide-open layout, while offering potential, required significant customization to meet the specific needs of a commercial baking facility. 

Plumbing, electrical systems, and ventilation were minimal, requiring substantial upgrades to comply with health and safety codes.

After: A Fully Equipped Bakery Built for Efficiency

The finished space is a stunning transformation into a state-of-the-art bakery designed for operational excellence. The walls were clad with easy-to-clean, food-safe materials, ensuring compliance with health regulations. 

Bright, energy-efficient LED lighting now illuminates the entire workspace, creating a vibrant and welcoming environment for bakery staff.

A polished, seamless epoxy floor replaced the raw concrete, providing durability, ease of maintenance, and a professional finish. 

The ceiling beams and exposed infrastructure were hidden or modified to blend seamlessly with the clean, modern design.

Custom walk-in coolers and freezers were installed, complete with insulated doors for maximum energy efficiency. Commercial-grade ovens, mixers, and preparation stations were strategically placed to maximize workflow. 

High-efficiency ventilation systems and fire safety equipment were integrated into the layout, ensuring safety and comfort.

The finishing touch was a dedicated cleaning station, featuring industrial-grade sinks and stainless steel surfaces to maintain hygiene. 

The space now reflects a professional bakery, capable of handling high-volume production while adhering to the highest standards of functionality and design.
