"The smartest business decision I’ve made was to engage Peter and Glen at Breakhouse to work with me in the creation of jane’s. Five years later their design continues to be a key factor in our success and one of the reasons our customers return. Both functionally and aesthetically their work has stood the test of time."

"Lawtons engaged Breakhouse to create our new Lawtons Drugs retail experience that we believe has elevated our competitive edge. They not only understood our challenges as a retailer trying to provide multiple categories in 16, 000 square feet of real estate but brought us creative solutions that improved the way we provide our services and offerings to our customers. Breakhouse designed a store that integrated multiple store zones in a natural flow supported by strong environmental graphics and way-finding. They also addressed our merchandising needs in a way that considered functionality and communication to our customer. Breakhouse clearly understood our core competencies as a company and found innovative ways to allow us to grow our brand. Breakhouse was able to work with our team to create an extensive signage package and in-store marketing collateral as a natural extension of the environmental graphics and permanent signage they designed for us. They provided seamless continuity between all types of tasks ensuring the consistency at all scales of the store design. Additionally, we found that they worked well within our extremely aggressive timelines. The final result yielded a great store that we are proud of and is a true reflection of our company that clearly communicates our brand and integrity to our customers and clients. We continue to work with Breakhouse on other initiatives that were not part of the original scope of our project."

"Breakhouse Design played a significant role in this initiative. They gathered our requirements and combined them with their research and creative ideas to make this a truly unique store. They worked with Aliant to make sure they captured all our needs and then worked with the mill workers to make the design a reality. The store experienced sales increases in all lines of business and reached the market it was intended for. Thanks to Breakhouse, the design of this store has proved to be a tremendous success."
Danielle Horlick | Store Design + Development Manager, Aliant
"McDonald’s Restaurant was a late entry into the restaurant market in the Bayers Lake Industrial Park. We turned to Breakhouse in order to help us create a look and feel for the restaurant that would help us stand out from the crowd. The result was a unique experience that became the “Movie McDonald’s”. A standout design was created at a cost of approximately 5% over a standard McDonald’s restaurant. Customer reaction has been overwhelmingly positive."
Chuck Coolen | Head of Marketing, McDonald's Restaurants Ontario
