Salon Owner Plans To Open American Restaurant In Vacant Shaw Storefront - Bisnow

Baymeadows Corner is a few steps closer to taking shape at the site of a closed Miami Subs at 8355 Baymeadows Road.

Developers Paul and Louis Sleiman applied for a permit to significantly renovate the structure and expand it to 7,600 square feet.

Paul Sleiman said Friday most of the Miami Subs building would be demolished but some elements would remain, such as the structural columns and foundation.

The property is designed as three units comprising two retail stores of 2,500 and 3,000 square feet and a 2,100-square-foot restaurant and drive-thru. The restaurant seating is capped at 50.

The units are designed as tenant shells. Build-out would take place separately.

The Malle Co. Inc. is the contractor for the $600,000 renovation and addition. JAA Architecture is the architect.

On Friday, Triforce Development, led by the Sleiman brothers and Bueme Engineering applied for the administrative deviation from the citys zoning code for landscaping reductions. They await a final order.

The application says the proposed deviation is part of the efforts to rebuild the Baymeadows area and that the site has been vacant and deteriorated for many years.

Triforce, through Olde Mandarin LLC, would buy the property from 8355 Baymeadows Inc. of Orange Park.

A mobility-fee calculation certificate and a concurrency reservation certificate issued June 16 by the city show the site is between Taco Bell and Jiffy Lube.

Paul Sleiman said in July the plan is to redevelop the entire site, including the building, parking areas and monument sign. He said he expects to start construction in the fourth quarter.

The 3,600-square-foot Miami Subs building was developed in 1985. Miami Subs operated six area stores but closed them. The Baymeadows store closed in 2003.

The developer of the proposed Home2 Suites by Hilton at Deerwood Park Boulevard and Gate Parkway seeks a permit to build the five-story hotel at a cost of $7.5 million.

A group led by hotelier Kanti Patel wants to build the 64,438-square-foot project on 1.75 acres at 10715 Deerwood Park Blvd.

Omega Construction Services is shown as the contractor. Zona Architecture is the architect.

Plans show a pool and patio outdoors and the inside includes a breakfast area, meeting rooms and exercise room.

Patel said construction should start in November on the 104-room Home2 Suites by Hilton and he estimates the investment at $14 million to $15 million. The company said it should open in January 2019.

Home2 Suites by Hilton is a limited-service, extended-stay hotel.

The 3.54-acre site has space for a second five-story hotel, with 102 rooms. Patel said there was no decision on that development.

Malik Hashim has a new San Bernardino restaurant under construction. When he wants to visit it, he goes to Los Angeles.

Hashim is a franchisee of Checkers & Rallys, a quick service chain with more than 800 restaurants serving burgers, chicken wings and seasoned fries.

In November, the Tampa company announced a strategy to give franchisees the option of prefabricated modular buildings as well as traditional builds.

Hashim took the modular option.

It saves a lot of time and money from having an architect, he said in a phone interview.

To be more specific, it shaves five to 12 weeks off the development timeline and saves as much as $100,000 on construction, according to a news release from Checkers & Rallys.

Hashim will take delivery of his Rallys restaurant at 1605 W. Baseline St. Workers will then hook up electricity and plumbing.

Target for opening is March 2018.

Checkers and Rallys has a third option for franchisees to save on construction, a model that recycles shipping containers as building supports. But thats not the model thats coming to San Bernardino, according to spokesmen.

The company has grown by more than 176 restaurants since 2012, according to the company, but it is not a familiar brand in the Inland Empire. There is a Checkers inside the Walmart Supercenter on Moreno Beach Drive in Moreno Valley.

There are also four restaurants in Orange and Los Angeles counties.

Checkers and Rallys have the same menus, which include loaded milkshakes and stacked, packed sundaes.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan announced the latest recipients of cash grants from the Motor City Match program on Monday Aug., 14, 2017(Photo: JC Reindl)

Thirteen Detroit-based small businesses, including a beer brewer, a construction contractorand aSouthern cooking restaurant, were awarded $500,000 in total grants Monday in the latest round of the city's Motor City Match program.

The quarterly event marked the two-year anniversary for the popular program, which distributes local foundation money as well as block grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to new and existing Detroit businesses in need of "gap funding" help.

To date, Motor City Matchhas distributed nearly $4 million to 87 businesses, of which 78% are minority-owned. The program focuseson small businesses that can play a role inrevitalizingneighborhoods and that may have struggled in obtaining enough traditional,commercial lending.

"We are getting to where we want to be in creating business opportunities in the neighborhoods," said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who with the Detroit Economic Growth Corp. started the Match program in 2015. "We are creating a pathway for people who have the talent, who have the drive, but otherwise might not have had the financing."

Big Mama's Southern Kitchen was among this latest round of grantrecipients. The restaurant was given $40,000 to helprepair damage toits building at 19644 Grand Riverfrom a December 2015 fire of unknown origin that had forced itto close.

Restaurant co-ownersPatricia Clay and Natalie Day said the repair and renovation work is already under way and they hope to reopenin October. The restaurant is named for Clay's late grandmother, Lucy Carr, who was known as "Big Mama" andtaught her the Southern recipes that their customers will taste.

"It's been a strugglebut we're doing it," Clay said of the restaurant's reconstruction."We always planned to reopen,it was just getting funded. We needed to get funded."

Construction general contractor The O'Neal Contracting Group received a $35,000 grant to help replace the roof of its headquarters at17160 Wyoming St.

Owner Greg O'Neal said his nine-employee company has been experiencing strong growth since 2014 thanksto the surge in apartment construction in and around downtown Detroit. The firm was recently awarded work at the $53 million Third and Grand residential and commercial project in New Center.

Monday's event was held inside a former 1940s post office that was converted into a workshop and future retail shop for Mutual Adoration, a past recipient of a $35,000 Motor City Match grant. The businessuses reclaimed wood to create furniture, gifts and other household items and plans toopen itsnew retail shop inside the building this fall.

The following businesses were awarded grants:

Batch Brewing Company, 2841 E. Grand Blvd., $65,000 Simply Breakfast Restaurant, 7526 W. McNichols St., $50,000 Vernor MC, 5705 W. Vernor Hwy., $45,000 Bar Botnica, 14522 E. Jefferson Ave., $40,000 Big Mamas Southern Kitchen, 19644 Grand River Ave., $40,000 Detroit Mushroom Factory, 13832 Joseph Campau St., $40,000 Rosedale Beer & Bistro, 18910 Grand River Ave., $40,000 The Congregation, 9321 Rosa Parks Blvd., $40,000 O'Neal Contracting Group, 17160 Wyoming St., $35,000 The Vernor Caf, 4110 W.

WATERLOO A new Perkins Restaurant & Bakery will be located at the former Lone Star Steakhouse site at San Marnan Drive and Hammond Avenue near Crossroads Center.

Construction is expected to start soon and the restaurant is anticipated to open in late September, said Matt Rahfaldt, vice president of operations of of Cy-Hawk Hospitality, which operates Perkins restaurants in Altoona, Ankeny, Fort Dodge and Sioux City, and in other states.

The existing Perkins on University Avenue in Waterloo is a separately-run corporate store and recently completed a remodeling. It has operated there since 1978, according to Courier files.

Were happy to be in Waterloo and we felt Waterloo could support a second Perkins, Rahfaldt said, as well as maybe a third in Cedar Falls at some point in the future. He said there is, in particular, a market for the restaurant in the southern part of the city.

Work is underway gutting the restaurants interior in preparation for installing Perkins fixtures, said Rahfeldt, an Ames High School and Iowa State University graduate now living in Kansas near Kansas City. Well make it look brand new, he said. He said the project represents a $500,000 investment by his company, its 14th Perkins.

Weve always loved doing business in Iowa, and Waterloo is a city thats been on our radar for quite a while, Rahfaldt said

The new Waterloo location will be staffed by about 80 full- and part-time employees and will feature Perkins full menu.

Lone Star ceased operations at the Hammond and San Marnan location in January. It had operated there since 1993. Lockard Development owns the building.

We are excited to have Perkins as a new tenant in our building in Waterloo, Lockard executive vice presdent Dave Wilson said. This will be an excellent location to serve the needs of the community. Lockard is very thankful to have them as a long-standing tenant, and that Tori Lockard and Dustin Whitehead on my team were able to secure them in this location.

In addition to its proximity to Crossroads, Wilson noted the new restaurant is close to Lost Island Waterpark and a considerable amount of senior housing in the area.

Crews are working on both Interstate 81 and Interstate 690 and it's causing longer commutes and traffic jams for many drivers.

The summer season is prime-time for construction projects. If you need proof of that, just look at two major highways that run through Syracuse.

Crews are working on both Interstate 81 and Interstate 690 and it's causing longer commutes and traffic delays.

The delays coming into Syracuse on Interstate 81 north are heavy; it's right where downtown traffic comes onto the highway at the hospitals. Crews are closing the two left-side, the through lanes, between 9am and 2:30pm to avoid rush hour, but that means the work time is shortened, so the closures are expected to continue until Thursday.

That closure has proven especially tough when people approach the Interstate 690 interchange, according to state Department of Transportation spokesperson Gene Cilento. "A lot of the people coming up from the ramp wanna go left, and people on 81 wanna go right," he explains. "So there's a lot of weaving, a lot of movement of traffic in that small area. And, this is one of the busiest road areas in Syracuse, seeing almost 100-thousand vehicles daily.

It's going to be longer before the I-690 work near Teall Avenue is done - workers are almost halfway through this year's portion of a two-year project to rebuild the elevated areas of the highway there. However, after months of demolition dismantling, onlookers are now starting to see construction at the site.

"The pile driving just started within the past few days and there's also work going on clearing some demolition work on the Teall end of the bridge," Cilento said.

The massive construction project - and all the detours along Beech Street - is also tough on businesses in the area like Edward Joy Electric. They're working extra hard to let people know they're still in business."We just want to make sure that, with this construction and with the detours, they know that we're still open," Brandon Turner of Edward Joy Electric said. "We will be open even when they close the other exits as well."

There is some good news for the businesses and people who live close to the construction: It was really loud last week, as concrete was pounded off the bridge decks, but most of the demolition is done and the building phases should be quieter.

Carpet Cleaning and Restoration Position - Bangor Daily News

Are your carpets and upholstery filthy from dirty pets, hyper children, and everyday life during the summer?

Randy's Carpet Care, voted "Best of the Best" by readers of theHolland Sentinel for 14 years, can help make your carpets look almost as clean as they day you bought them.

Jeremy Strickland, Marketing Director from Randy's Carpet Care, says that their method is much more efficient than trying to clean up extreme stains and excessive amounts of filth out of the carpet yourself.

When attempting to clean a stain out of the carpet yourself, over-the-counter chemicals are "one size fits all," meaning that the chemical is used for every type of stain like coffee, wine, or another liquid. Whereas Randy's Carpet Careuses cosmetic treatments for different stains on carpet; they go through every nook and cranny to make sure all the filth is out of the carpet, giving it that like-new look and feel.

Randy's Carpet Care recommends in order to keep the carpets looking clean, vacuum as often as you can. Jeremy says the most common problem they see in homes is visible traffic paths on carpet from constant dirt build-up, damaging the carpet. Vacuuming not only keeps the carpet clean, but makes it last longer along with getting rid of bacteria, germs and allergens.

For homes with hardwood floors and carpet, put a run on the hardwood floor to capture the dirt before walking onto the carpet. It's important to point out that this method is not recommended for all carpet homes. Jeremy says that if a rug is put on top of carpet, the weight from your feet will rub dies from the rug into the carpet, staining the carpet (which is what you're trying to avoid.)

Following these tips will keep the carpets in your home feeling soft and new, but for those tough stains and big clean up jobs, call the professionals at Randy's Carpet Care.

Randy's Carpet Care is located at 131 Coolidge Avenue in suite 2 in Holland.

Does your upholstered furniture look dingy and tired? Is your couch in desperate need of a clean? What about your car? Upholstery, like carpet, needs regular attention, says Shawn Bisaillon, owner of Professional Carpet Systems of North Denver. As an industry consultant for cleaning and restoration, he's sharing insider tips for keeping upholstery looking great.

1. If you're going to hire a professional: Bisaillon recommends having upholstery cleaned by a certified cleaning technician every 12 to 24 months more frequently in households with small children or pets.

To assure that youre getting a qualified cleaner, look for certification by International Cleaning and Restoration Association or International Institute of Cleaning and Restoration. Before booking an in-home cleaning, request the name of the technician and his/her ICRA or IICR registration number.

2. Vacuum: Use upholstery and crevice attachments (they make a huge difference!) to pick up crumbs and dust on a weekly basis.

3. Clean spills immediately: Blot them up ASAP. If the spill leaves a spot, follow instructions on the fabric care label. If its safe to use water, blot the area alternately with a damp towel and a dry towel to remove it.

4. Treat the stain: As always, follow cleaning instructions on the fabric care label. For stains on silk and antique fabrics, consult a professional, otherwise if the stain is from an organic source, like mustard, coffee or other foods, Bisaillon suggests lightly misting it with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide.

Pro tip: Always test in an inconspicuous place first to make sure the fabric is color-safe.

For other stains, Bisaillon uses a CRI-approved spot remover like Benefect Impact Cleaner for Carpet and Fabric. Test it first in a hidden spot, then follow manufacturers directions. After working on the stain, leave a towel on top of the treated area as well as on the underside of the fabric to absorb residual liquid.

What to do:

1. Start by thoroughly vacuuming, using the upholstery and crevice attachments.

2. If using cleaning products to break up soil, remember to lightly mist them onto the fabric. (Overspraying can cause the cleaner to seep into cushions.) Then, with a gentle touch, groom the fabric with a soft sponge or brush.

3. Rinse the fabric by lightly spraying with warm water and suctioning away moisture with a wet/dry vac. Blot with an absorbent towel. Allow furniture to dry completely before using. To hasten the drying process, use fans or place the cushions outside to dry.

Those vacuum attachments make a huge difference!

What to use:

For touch-ups, look for professional-grade home products like Stain X Pro Carpet and Upholstery Shampoo or any other approved upholstery product listed on the Carpet and Rug Institute website. Never use bleaches or de-greasers.

For pet messes, use a wet/dry vac to vacuum up as much of the urine as possible. Apply a bio-enzymatic urine digester, such as Urine Off or Nilodor, according to package directions.

A word to the wise: Be proactive!

You can spare yourself a lot of work and expense by applying a fabric protector to new or newly cleaned upholstery, especially if the upholstery is made of delicate, soft fibers like silk. For such fabrics, professionally applied Fiber ProTector repels stains, adds UV protection, reduces static electricity and inhibits growth of bacteria, mold and mildew.

For family-friendly fabrics, professionally applied, high-performance 3M Scotchgard does the job. Regular 3M Scotchgard, while not as powerful, is a good DIY option.
