Flint Hills Breadbasket Market & Warehouse Renovation

Project Case Study
In just two years, Flint Hills Breadbasket (FHBB) more than doubled its monthly visitors and outgrew their current space. To accommodate growing demand, McCownGordon renovated two adjacent buildings.

City

Manhattan, KS

To meet rising demand and better serve the community, FHBB acquired two adjacent buildings from Furniture Warehouse, transforming them into a welcoming, efficient space that shortens wait times and enhances the experience for every guest.

McCownGordon collaborated with Anderson Knight Architects on this design-build delivery. The renovation involved removing outdated offices and restrooms, reconfiguring wall layouts, and upgrading infrastructure to meet the needs of a grocery-style market. Construction highlights include:

  • New plumbing and drainage systems installed by sawcutting the existing slab for walk-in coolers, restrooms, and staff areas
  • Client-facing coolers and shelving added for chilled, frozen, dry, and fresh goods.
  • Mechanical and electrical systems modernized to support expanded operations.

Increased Capacity & Greater Efficiency

The renovated buildings now offer increased warehouse capacity, dedicated cold and dry storage and a thoughtfully designed layout that supports FHBB’s growing community. The Market is now better equipped to serve guests with greater efficiency and dignity.
