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
  • Refrigerated and hot food display cases
  • Grab & go retail merchandising shelving
  • Reach-in refrigeration units
  • Ice machine
  • Cook line equipment (griddle, fryers, conveyor ovens, combi oven)
  • Ware-washing and dish pit equipment
  • Bean-to-cup coffee machines
  • Popcorn equipment
