ABC Experience

Our ABC Portfolio is Top Shelf.

We’ve lent our expertise on more than 400 retail projects statewide, from Main Street malls to back road boutiques. In particular, our team has found a niche in designing ABC facilities- including retail, office, and warehouse space. From site planning to conceptual design and construction administration, we have delivered these projects through a comprehensive design process, encompassing all services that will also be necessary for your project.

Our firm has built strong, cooperative relationships with several ABC Boards throughout the state, providing a variety of services for a mixed-bag of projects. We’ve worked with Orange County, Greensboro, and Youngsville ABC Boards to design new retail stores to better service their customers and increase sales. All three locations share an inviting facade to bring passersby in, and a pleasant atmosphere to increase the time spent shopping. Additionally, with the ever-growing number of products on shelves, we ensured each had ample warehouse space.

Neat Solutions for Every Site.

Our ABC Experience

Our work with ABC Boards across North Carolina and beyond has given our team unique insight into the intricacies and preferences of each board. We tailor our approach to every project to ensure that branding remains strong and consistent while also providing sustainable, beautiful designs that emphasize the natural beauty of the site and enhance the aesthetics of the store.

Oakdale Drive Store Orange County ABC Looking to change the way they service their customers and provide a more lively and inviting customer experience, Orange County ABC worked together with Summit to provide a design that elevated the retail experience by driving in business and encouraging customers to shop longer. Hillsborough, NC 2.4M 7,350 ft² Warehouse and Office Orange County ABC This warehouse space was constructed out of a pre-engineered metal structure for it’s cost effectiveness and efficiency. Masonry and metal panel walls helped integrate the building into the surrounding industrial park and distinct steel elements give it character. The interior of the office space includes repurposed flooring from an actual bourbon distillery and artifacts featuring name alcohol brands that are stored on-site. Hillsborough, NC 14,250 ft² Bantiff Way Retail Store Greensboro ABC As Greensboro ABC Board was looking to grow alongside the fast paced development occurring across the City, they realized if they wanted to succeed, they needed to design new retail stores to fit within the modern environment of these larger developments. Greensboro, NC 3.2M 7,042 ft² New Store Lexington ABC We were brought in to assist with various conceptual design options to improve the flow of the property and enhance the building. Options included demolition of the existing building for a new one or retaining portions of the existing to allow for business to continue to operate while a new building was being constructed. Site concepts were explored to improve customer vehicles flow, parking efficiency, proper receiving access with limited impact on customer flow, and separation of retail and administration interactions. Lexington, NC Store Addition Ocean Isle ABC As they look to grow and support their local customers, we assisted with the design of a 4,000 square foot addition and parking lot expansion. The new addition would replace the existing retail area, supporting all new shelving for bottled product. Additionally, a new 12-door walk in cooler will provide refrigeration for canned products while providing a cooled area for storage. The addition will include large picture windows to allow light to flood the space while providing curb appeal to beach goers who drive by.
