Dollar General North Attleboro, MA | 18,200 SF | PDA Incorporated When the iconic Benny’s retail chain went out of business, the Carpionato Group purchased 29 of the 31 former stores. Carpionato hired Vantage Builders to renovate the North Attleboro location, to create a bright, welcoming retail environment. The 18,000-SF location was split into two spaces; 10,000-SF for a new Dollar General store and 8,000 for a future tenant. The first step in the project was to carefully remove and rebuild the entire façade to refresh the building’s look and allow for new branding. The interior features all new finishes that reflect current retail aesthetics and help create a positive retail experience for shoppers. A new loading dock and dumpster pad were installed and the significant systems work included new HVAC and electrical. The old parking lot was overlaid to create a safer environment and to provide a critical positive first impression of the new store.

In order to create the proper space, designed by Dennis Colwell Architects, Vantage Builders conducted internal demolition and installed a new demising wall to separate Club Pilates from an adjacent suite. The Pilates studio features 12 workout stations, each outfitted with specialized equipment, maple board wall panels, mirrors and springboards.

The project included significant base building work, including reframing the front and the vestibule to accommodate the design of the new storefront and to better showcase Citi Trends’ goods. The installation of upgraded MEP systems required removing the entire sheetrock ceiling. Underground plumbing was installed to support a bank of restrooms at the back of the store.

Goldfish Swim School Newton, MA | 13,000 SF | Silverman Trykowski Associates The learn-to-swim franchise opened its doors, providing indoor swim classes and programs to children aged four months and up. The centerpiece of the school is the 30 x 70 gunite pool, with water constantly maintained at a kidfriendly 90 degrees. Parents can watch the small group lessons no more than four children per instructor in a comfortable viewing area that runs almost the whole length of the pool. The view is provided by an enormous, tempered glass panel that is a half inch thick, nine-feet high and 80-feet long.

DICK'S Sporting Goods Multiple Locations in New England Vantage Builders was hired by DICK’S to renovate the footwear section of its store. A critical requirement of the project was to minimize the impact on customers’ in-store experiences during construction, to ensure sales weren’t negatively affected. Vantage built a 160-linear-foot, full-height temporary wall during the store’s off-hours. The Vantage and DICK’S teams then worked overnight to reposition the existing footwear section to the temporary wall, so it was ready for the store’s 9:00am opening. The completed footwear section features two wall shelving units and several standalone shelving units, known as gondolas. All told, the section displays more than 1,200 pairs of men’s, women’s and children’s sports and active wear shoes, as well as related merchandise. The entire project was completed within a tight, three-week timeframe. The updated footwear section better promotes DICK’S lifestyle brand, helps boost sales and features a more efficient layout for shoppers and store associates. Additional Valued Clients A.W.
