Retail Buildouts in Greater Philadelphia

F. Kenny Construction builds retail spaces across greater Philadelphia, Montgomery County, and the Delaware Valley. A retail buildout is the construction work that takes a bare or leased storefront and turns it into a finished store ready to open. It covers the storefront, the sales floor, lighting, fixtures, the back of house, and every finish a customer sees.

What a retail buildout includes

A retail buildout with us covers the storefront and entrance, the sales floor layout, lighting and electrical, the heating and cooling system, flooring, wall finishes, fixtures and millwork, signage coordination, and the back of house such as the stockroom and restrooms. We work around your fixture vendors and brand standards so the finished store matches exactly what your brand expects.

Why work with F. Kenny Construction

Retail runs on two things: deadlines and appearance. A store that opens late loses money every day it stays dark, and every surface a shopper sees is part of the brand. Frank Kenny built custom homes before commercial work, so the finish quality customers notice is second nature to us, and our merit shop crews plan the schedule tightly so your opening date holds.

How the work runs

We begin with preconstruction to price the work and lock a schedule built backward from your opening date. Then we build, coordinate your vendors and inspections, and hand over a store that is ready to sell.
