We have worked with Miller’s Ale House since they were a small, family-owned business to a growing brand with more than 100 locations. Early on, our team helped coordinate signage when Miller’s Ale House rebranded their restaurants from location-specific names to one common name, and in our pursuit for consistency, we have never looked back. The guest experience in the Florida Room of a Miller’s Ale House is one that the Cuhaci Peterson team takes much pride in. From the cool, refreshing mist, to the precisely devised climate control is the perfect pairing with whatever your palate desires!
With more than 100 locations in 10 states, it’s hard to believe that Miller’s Ale House was once a small, family owned business in Jupiter Florida. Now, this nationwide brand has a larger presence, with a smaller footprint, thanks to Cuhaci Peterson.
Project Key Facts
The outdoor seating area, called the Florida Room, is one of the unique features of Miller’s Ale House.
To achieve the desired results, our team coordinates a site investigation report for Miller’s real-estate team to ensure that it is possible for the building to be oriented in the correct way so that the Florida Room does not face directly into the sunlight. In addition to affecting site selection, the Florida Room presents some interesting engineering challenges.
The CP team expertly designs and engineers every detail of the space to create a relaxed and comfortable outdoor environment. From misting fans and the surrounding ambient temperature, to the precise location of doors, the climate control system must be carefully devised to deliver a consistent dining experience that keeps Miller’s customers coming back for more. Over time, Miller’s Ale House has developed specific criteria for their unique indoor-outdoor layout and, as a result, exclusively executes ground-up construction for new site builds. CP’s architectural team has assisted Miller’s Ale House in standardizing the process and reducing waste, streamlining the restaurant footprint from approximately 10,000 square-feet down to a more manageable and efficient 7,000 square-feet. The ability to do more with less is a hallmark of our organization and has enabled Miller’s to simultaneously grow in more markets and better maintain its brand standards.
Miller’s Ale House learned a lot of valuable lessons operating its restaurants during the pandemic, especially the importance of curbside takeout and delivery options. Consequently, our team has been assisting in the exciting rollout of to-go ordering options! Just another example of how we strive to exceed expectations and deliver value to our client-partners.
