This project involved tenant improvements for a new 23,000-square-foot donut production facility in Kent to replace an outdated facility in Tukwila. The project consisted of production areas for two donut fryer lines, one electric and one gas-fired, including new cooking hoods, MAU’s, ductwork, and fire suppression systems for production of up to 50,000 donuts a day.

The scope of work included support areas for dishwashing, refrigeration, dough proofers, mixers, cutting tables, storage, and shipping and receiving areas.

A major challenge was that the existing Tukwila facility could not come “off line” until new Kent facility was ready to take over production. Moving the critical equipment from Tukwila to Kent within just a few hours and getting them online so Top Pot could meet their production commitments required special coordination and scheduling across all disciplines to make this happen. This project was truly a TEAM effort to complete successfully.
