Franchising Experience

project experience

Chick-fil-A Various Locations Chick-fil-A sought to partner with an architecture firm that could provide a centralized prototype design, helping them save on costs and promote consistency across their restaurants nationwide. HFA was selected due to our change management process and experience handling large-scale projects with other major restaurants and retailers.

As our relationship grew and the scope of work increased, we became more heavily involved in the long-term planning and execution of Chick-fil-A restaurant projects. Unlike traditional client-architect relationships, HFA partners with Chick-fil-A as an extension of their internal team. We are regularly involved in corporate meetings to provide expert knowledge of both the Chick-fil-A restaurants and industry thought leadership.

project experience Slim Chickens Various Locations Our partnership with Slim Chickens has evolved over the years from prototype development and site adapt work. In recent years, we partnered with a local franchisee on four local restaurants that have unique kitchen designs and are some of the top grossing Slim Chickens locations. This strong, successful partnership has also allowed us to play a much larger role in prototype development and management for Slim Chickens corporate. Being near Slim Chickens headquarters in Fayetteville, AR allows our team in-person opportunities to meet with new franchisees at any point in the design or construction process.

project experience

Black Rock Coffee Various Locations HFA has worked alongside Black Rock Coffee Design and Construction Teams since 2019, collaborating together to create a prototype that is cost and timeline conscious while maintaining the consistency of their community-driven brand experience.

Our team provides site analysis + evaluation, restaurant design, kitchen layout, exterior design visualizations required for approval by local jurisdictions, construction documents, permitting + entitlements, and construction administration to Black Rock Coffee development and corporate group.

Prototype Design + Development | Site Specific Projects

project experience Freddy’s Various Locations In 2016, our team was approached by a local developer who was a Freddy’s franchisee, to design a multi-tenant development with a Freddy’s restaurant anchoring the development as the end cap.

Our team took the Freddy’s prototype and developed a client-specific Revit prototype design for the client with high-quality construction documents that incorporated their individual design style and elaborate detailing, ultimately avoiding many potential RFIs during the construction process.

project experience

Tacos 4 Life Various Locations From the very beginning of our conversations with Tacos 4 Life, rolling out locations quickly throughout the region was always top-of-mind. Our team partnered with Tacos 4 Life to help make this dream a reality by supporting them through the creation of their first location in Little Rock, AR, thanks to value engineering support on the current building design and prototype they were working with. By providing them costeffective solutions that met brand expectations, they were able to expand at a faster rate, which allowed them to deliver on the motto of giving back meals to those less fortunate for every taco or bowl sold.

Prototype Design + Development | Site Specific Projects

project experience Sonic Various Locations Throughout our work with Sonic, we’ve worked on corporate and franchisee restaurant locations, both new ground-up and retro-fitted locations. Each time, our team has been careful to keep designs consistent with the prototype, while still incorporating the needs and creativity that franchisees would like to see in their locations. One such Sonic location melded the prototype with new and interesting developments, like a dog park placed front and center at the restaurant, allowing customers to eat on the patio with their families, four-legged family members included.
