Real Estate
The first step in creating a successful restaurant is the identification of a site and construction of an appropriate facility. The Real Estate team we have selected to work with us has over 20 years of national commercial real estate experience with a primary focus in the restaurant industry and other single purpose tenants.

They have an established a nationwide network of local real estate professionals to assist in the site evaluation process. The Real Estate Group carefully evaluates an extensive array of data, covering critical points that include:

Project Management
As part of the Teakwoods Tavern & Grill program, we offer project management assistance of each of your franchise stores. That project assistance directs the development activities, including: tracking the progress of each phase, and provides a seamless flow from site selection through Grand Opening.
We begin with the architectural design phase. The architectural firm, FM Group out of Scottsdale, Arizona ensures the layout meets Teakwoods Tavern & Grills' criteria and can develop construction drawings to be approved by you, the franchisee, Teakwoods Tavern & Grill and the appropriate local and federal governing agencies.
After we receive the initial layout of your new store, our project manager will assist you in the procurement of all equipment required to operate your restaurant along with selecting the interior design elements and materials. Our national equipment supplier will work to ensure that you are receiving the appropriate equipment at the most competitive price.
At the conclusion of construction you, Teakwoods Tavern & Grill, the architect and the contractor will conduct a final sign-off inspection of the store. The inspection allows for all parties to review the build-out, the equipment and the readiness of your store prior to opening for business.
Architecture
Teakwoods Tavern & Grills’ theme and graphics are also a major part of the Company’s success. Teakwoods Tavern & Grill has created a brightly lit, open and visually inviting environment. The overall ambiance is genuinely appealing to a broad cross-section of customers. Design and graphic elements have been developed to present a fun and casual family atmosphere that effectively unifies all elements of communication.
