The Addison Steakhouse Opens

Operated by the Addison Restaurant Group, The Addison Steakhouse in Del Ray Beach, Florida has re-opened after a brief 4 day make-over. Yes, I said a 4-day make-over! With the incredible help of RCC Associates, Josh Kimmel (Director of Operations for the Addison Restaurant Group) and the Maverick team - the pre-planned and budget conscious renovation took a tired space and revived this location with new furniture, lighting, wood accents and conceptual touches enhanced by a complete uniform and menu revamp. The Addison Restaurant Group, led by visionary Harold Katz, is also under construction on Milan's Italian Restaurant in Boynton Beach. This project is also being constructed by RCC Associates and was designed by Maverick. Mr. Katz once owned my favorite sports franchise of all time - the 1983 NBA Champion Philadelphia 76ers!

Attached are a few photos of the completed steakhouse - we are most proud that sales have taken off since this overall concept make-over.

* Please stay posted for another staff addition to the Orlando office!

* The concepts at East Park Village are ready to start design and concepting. The concepts that Maverick will be providing design services include a Lounge, a boutique hotel, a coffee shop, a gelato concept, a Mexican concept, a dinner house concept as well as an outdoor market/community pavilion. We are extremely excited about working with Mr. John Gray, President of Pinnacle - the owner of East Park Village. In addition to Mr. Gray, the conceptual development will be enhanced with the talents of Mr. John Gabrovic, owner of Harmoni Markets as well as several over-seas restaurant concepts, and Mr. Manny Garcia - a long time Orlando restaurant owner and developer. The four of us are planning a whirlwind research trip to Chicago next week.

* The Splitsville concepts continue development with increased intensity. Miami is set to open within 2 months, Dallas and Arlington have now started construction and new opportunities in Virginia, Chicago and San Antonio are now being looked at on the boards in the Maverick office.
