Blue Bottle Coffee Oakbrook
Located at the Oak Brook Mall in Oakbrook Village, Illinois, this location was the final Blue Bottle Coffee prototype store in this initial series of engagement.
This project converted a previously existing legacy retail coffee shop, which required significant repair & upgrades to the existing free-standing jewel box shell space upon completion of demolition. Furthermore, the implementation of new statutes within the Village of Oakbrook demanded a mid-course revaluation of the entire exterior building finish to meet the Landlord, Village, and Client’s exacting standards. This final project, like the prior three, included the coordination & installation of Blue Bottle’s new standard modular guest-facing equipment counter system, integrated with a 325sf interior canopy.
