Couplands Bakery approached Lane Construction with a clear vision: to modernize their retail store while retaining the charm and functionality that has made the bakery a beloved institution since 1971. The project was particularly challenging because the store needed to remain operational throughout the refurbishment, requiring all construction work to adhere to strict Site Safe guidelines to ensure the safety of staff and customers.
To meet these challenges, Lane Construction devised a detailed plan that balanced the needs of an active retail space with the complexities of construction work. Frequent consultations with both the bakery owner and a consultant allowed for a clear understanding of the project requirements and ensured that work could proceed with minimal disruption. This careful preparation set the stage for a seamless refurbishment process, with all parties aligned on the project timeline and goals.
The project began with the completion of the interior parapet wall, which served as a key structural element for the refurbishment. Attention then turned to the exterior of the building, where the aging pylon sign was removed and replaced with a modern, eye-catching design. New signage was added to the building façade to reinforce Couplands Bakery’s branding and improve visibility to customers.
The exterior cladding was carefully replaced, updating the building’s appearance while ensuring durability and weather resistance. Once these structural and branding upgrades were completed, the final stage involved a full repaint of the building’s exterior. The fresh coat of paint not only modernized the bakery’s aesthetic but also gave it a polished, professional finish that matched its iconic status within Hamilton’s commercial landscape.
The refurbishment of Couplands Bakery delivered a host of benefits that extended beyond its modernized appearance. The updated retail space enhanced the bakery’s visibility and appeal, making it a standout feature in Hamilton’s bustling commercial district. The addition of new signage and fresh branding improved customer recognition, while the sleek exterior paint job projected a sense of quality and professionalism.
For the owners, the refurbishment reinforced their long-standing reputation as one of Hamilton’s iconic businesses. The careful planning and execution of the project ensured that the bakery could continue serving customers without interruption, preserving its loyal customer base while attracting new visitors with its refreshed look.
The successful modernization of Couplands Bakery has cemented its position as a cornerstone of the local community. By blending practical upgrades with striking aesthetics, the project has given the bakery a renewed presence in the city’s commercial landscape, reflecting its enduring legacy and bright future.
