The Temporary by American Casino

CASE STUDY

Introducing the Interim Dining Experience at American Place Casino

American Place, located in Waukegan, IL, received approval to construct a new permanent casino in the Fountain Square area. This premier gambling facility will boast a grand casino, a 5-star boutique hotel, a live event venue, and multiple bars and restaurants. However, while the permanent casino is being built, a temporary casino called “The Temporary by American Place” is required to serve the community and generate revenue.

American Place, Waukegan, IL 

A commercial kitchen to support The Temporary by American Place for 3 – 4 years until the permanent casino is completed.

To fulfill this requirement, a 12-unit modular kitchen complex is being attached to the temporary casino, which is housed in a Sprung structure. The kitchen complex includes 2 cooking areas, 4 preparation areas, 2 washing areas, 2 corridors, 2 employee restrooms, and 4 cold storage units. These facilities will support two restaurant concepts: Fusion Grill and American Grill.

The Temporary by American Place

The Midwest’s newest casino will be located thirty miles north of O’Hare International Airport in the northern Chicagoland area. In December 2021, the Illinois Gaming Board approved the casino project proposed by Full House Resorts, a Las Vegas-based company. American Place Waukegan is designed as a luxury gambling resort, strategically positioned to attract high-roller gamblers. The casino and hotel will be constructed on city-owned land at Fountain Square, just off Interstate 94. During the construction of the permanent American Place casino and hotel, a temporary gambling facility will be operated.

The Ahwahnee Hotel

CASE STUDY

The Ahwahnee Hotel

When The Ahwahnee Hotel needed support for its operation during a renovation, Kitchens To Go provided a temporary commercial kitchen complex to maintain foodservice continuity.

Client

The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, Mariposa County, CA

The Need

A commercial kitchen to support The Ahwahnee Dining Room, famous for its sumptuous Sunday Brunch, during renovation of the hotel’s existing kitchen and seismic safety upgrades to the facility. The much-needed work will ensure The Ahwahnee is safe for present and future generations of Yosemite visitors.

The Solution

Due to the high elevation, challenging terrain, and site restrictions, a containerized commercial kitchen complex was the best solution. The complex includes areas for food preparation, cooking, dishwashing, dry storage, walk-in coolers and freezers.

A One-of-a-Kind Project:

The Ahwahnee Hotel built in 1927 is special. The granite-façade crown jewel of Yosemite Park nestles in the heart of Yosemite Valley with Half Dome and Glacier Point serving as awe-inspiring, dramatic backdrops. Icons of our time, and past generations, have rested their heads at this National Historic Landmark, including the United States Navy who took over the building and used it as a convalescent hospital for those wounded during World War II. And, it was the inspiration for the interior sets of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.

When asked to provide support during renovations at this prominent location, Kitchens To Go was proud to accept, and deliver! A temporary containerized commercial kitchen complex was installed and will remain in use for 13 months. Containers are durable and safe and designed to operate comfortably, and efficiently, in extreme conditions. A containerized kitchen complex offers a high-capacity work environment with the functionality and flexibility needed to support a foodservice operation. It’s a perfect choice during a large-scale renovation in a hard-to-reach location.
