We were excited to work with Wahlburgers, the popular Wahlberg family restaurant, and be involved in the grand opening of the first franchise location in the Pittsburgh region. We constructed five signs and an awning – exterior channel letters, and interior channel letters, a raceway channel letter mounted to the awning, and two blade signs that bear the Wahlburgers original “W” logo.
Pictured is the completed and brightly illuminated channel letter signs that sit both inside the restaurant and on the exterior of the building. Also included are the two blade signs. To see all the photos from the installation, check out our Flickr page and click the Wahlburgers Project album.
Wahlburgers is a celebrity-fueled burger restaurant owned and managed by the Wahlberg brothers. The restaurant was founded by the eldest brother, Paul, who wanted to share some of his favorite recipes, so he partnered with his brothers Mark and Donnie to create a comfortable, friendly restaurant that would appeal to every generation. Since then, the franchise has slowly grown from the New England area and now has locations in over 15 states.
We worked closely with Wahlburgers’ corporate brand office, as well as the local developers and architects to ensure a smooth process. After several site surveys and extensive fabrication was finished we took three days to install the various sign types. The new space received a 3ft.X28ft. internally illuminated channel letter sign on the exterior of the building. Inside, two 1 ft. x 9 ft. illuminated channel signs were installed: one mounted flush on the wall above the main entrance and the other on a raceway mounted on the metal canopy. The two 36” circular blade signs were mounted on the corners of the bar.
Even though we ran into some challenges, the local owner and builder of Wahlburgers were very pleased with our final work. We were under a tight time frame to get up to speed on the project, fabricate the signs and install them prior to the opening. All along the way, we followed corporate brand guidelines and ensured that we were communicating regularly with each client stakeholder.
