DESCRIPTION

C.E. Gleeson Constructors completed three Whole Foods Market projects in Birmingham, East Lansing, and Miami, delivering complex grocery retail build-outs with heavy food service, refrigeration, and back-of-house infrastructure.

Scope included refrigerated case line installation, walk-in cooler and freezer areas, meat and seafood prep rooms, bakery and deli service areas, produce departments, prepared foods counters, checkout zones, receiving areas, and employee support spaces.

Construction included slab trenching and concrete infill for underground plumbing, floor drains, grease waste piping, refrigeration line routing, roof penetrations for exhaust fans and rooftop equipment, stainless steel wall panels, FRP wall protection, quarry tile, porcelain tile, sealed concrete, washable ceiling systems, food-safe wall finishes, service counter millwork, specialty equipment rough-ins, and utility tie-ins for refrigerated cases, prep sinks, hand sinks, mop sinks, ovens, dish areas, and food production equipment.

The projects required detailed field execution around health department standards, cold storage systems, grocery fixture layouts, and high-traffic retail operations.
