Before & After Gallery
Main serving lines replaced complete with quartz tops, new pendant lighting, digital menu signage, convertible sneeze guards, hot/cold wells, air screens, new reach ins, new flooring, and all new decor and paint to round out the space.
Where a basic salad bar once stood, there is now a full-functioning Kiosk complete with high-speed ventless ovens, rear loading refrigerated air screens for grab and go items along with a full display of hot and cold food. Encapsulated with unique decor to tie in the rich history of the "Ball" company founded in Muncie.
The main floor was replaced with a low-maintenance epoxy floor and new customized wall finishes added to enhance the aesthetics of the space.
Palmer Hamilton's unique capabilities to print on all different types of materials allow for a compellation of textures to soften the hard lines of the cinder block walls. By not focusing on the school colors all over the space creates a retail-like environment for the students to get away from the daily grind while creating a unique space for Muncie to use for community gatherings to showcase Muncie!
