This multi-year shopping center renovation project included the demolition of a vacant Kmart to make way for a new Giant grocery store and a Five Below store, fully constructed by Ames Construction, Inc. The center had a Giant in an existing location, and after the new Giant was built Ames renovated the old space for multiple new tenants. Ames Construction also demolished a small Rita’s Ice building and built the shell for the brand new PJ Whelihan’s restaurant in that location. We later fit out the new Rita’s Ice in another section of the center. Facade renovations and landlord work was performed on multiple buildings throughout the center, and Ames Construction also fit-out projects for Hallmark and Marshalls/HomeGoods
The center remained open throughout the entire renovation timeline, which required a builder who was able to do the work efficiently in order to meet the deadlines of multiple tenants, and more importantly required that things were done safely, protecting both customers and employees as they accessed stores.

Our project wasn’t “managed” by the dedicated staff at Ames, it was nurtured. Every aspect was discussed with us openly and, whether tragedy or triumph, handled with responsibility and a level of stewardship that told us how much they cared about the outcome.
