Our Involvement
Rapids supplied a full equipment package for MidAmerican Energy RecPlex in Des Moines, Iowa. Project Manager Dean Demorest and Project Coordinator Kendra Hatcher managed sourcing and coordination with general contractor Kraus-Anderson to equip the space.
The scope included custom stainless steel counters and two custom walk-in units - a walk-in cooler merchandiser and a walk-in combo box. When circumstances required a change in the custom stainless-steel provider mid-project, Rapids sourced a new provider to keep the project on track and deliver the space as planned.
Equipment Highlights
The equipment package included custom stainless steel fabrication and refrigeration alongside a broad range of grab & go, concessions, and kitchen equipment.
- Custom stainless steel counters and work surfaces
- Custom walk-in combo box (cooler/freezer)
- Custom walk-in beverage cooler
