As top contractors for retailers in the U.S.A. for nearly four decades, The Beam Team has partnered with some of the most iconic brands in U.S. retailing. For example, we have been the nationwide fixture installation company to America’s top home improvement store, leading pharmacy, and biggest selling electronics retailer.

But there is a difference between being proud versus just plain boastful. In the end, it is the voice of your customer that reigns supreme. Every retail contracting group owns bragging rights in its own unique ways.

At The Beam Team, we view retail general contractors as a special breed, so we take a moment here to highlight a few more recent case studies.

Like the music industry says of an artist’s latest hit, in our business, they say you are only good as your last project. Maybe you are wondering how to get into the retail construction business. Maybe you need a contractor for retail remodeling. Either way, we hope you appreciate these stories from our growing list of real-world case studies in retail construction and fixture installation.

Marriott Hotel Remodeling

The Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina was built in 1980 as a Roadway Inn. However, after changing many owners and being foreclosed on by the bank, we found it as an abandoned hotel that needed a lot of work.

RaceTrac C-store Stays on Track

This one is not your usual story about traditional buildouts or refreshes. Here, RaceTrac needed portions of its kitchens and coffee stations decommissioned in select locations. Signage and décor had to be removed as well—and menu boards updated, followed by seamless patching and painting of the walls. Additionally, the equipment needed to be decontaminated before being moved. This project was about finesse and experience: minding all the details, keeping stores open, and coordinating a lot of moving parts.

Get PJ’s Coffee Brewing

Working with the owner and the city, while adhering to brand specifications, The Beam Team completed the new PJ’s Coffee in Alpharetta, GA two days ahead of schedule. Despite delays on shipments and zoning, the project came within 3.5% of budget—95% of which were upgrades ordered by the visionary franchisee to enrich the customer experience.

Today, this Atlanta-area location is thriving in this high-growth town, a natural meeting place in a perfect location.
