LG renovated the existing pre-1900 building at 911 W Randolph in 2018. Veggie Grill is based in California and the building owner recommended they work with LG based on their success with the base build renovation. LG was eventually awarded the job and was given 2 months to finish the multi-level renovation which includes new rooftop mechanical systems, kitchen equipment, custom millwork and furniture, tile galore, state of the art data based employee computer stations and customer ordering systems, and a walk in cooler that was essentially a ship in a bottle. LG finished ahead of schedule and worked closely with the client to ensure they obtained their health certificate and licenses in time for their grand opening which all transpired as planned which was very important considering the VG team flew in from California for the turnover and grand opening. LG is looking forward to more successful projects with the Veggie Grill team.
