Higgins Row


Aria partnered with the Village of Rosemont to develop this underutilized location and add to the village’s growing dining district.

Location

Rosemont, IL

Project Includes

Aria’s work on this project covered just about everything – from the overall site layout to the building shell designs and the full interior buildouts for Small Cheval and Stan’s Donuts. The site sits between an existing Taco Bell and Giordano’s, and to make room for the new development, Rosemont cleared out an underused parking garage and an older restaurant.
From the beginning, our main goals were straightforward: make sure the new concepts were highly visible from Higgins Road, design parking that works for the flow of the site, and create an easy, intuitive traffic pattern for both guests and drive-thru users. The building designs focus on clean, functional forms with contemporary details, giving each brand a strong architectural backdrop to shine.

Rosemont brought together three well-loved and complementary food and beverage concepts for this location. One of the buildings includes two tenants – Stan’s Donuts & Coffee, complete with a drive-thru, and Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken. The second building is Hogsalt’s first ground-up Small Cheval, featuring an operable skylight over the dining room that fills the space with natural light. A substantial drive-thru setup was designed for the site, including overhead canopies that keep both team members and guests protected during all seasons.
This project brings together smart planning, strong brand presence, and thoughtful design to create a lively new destination in the Village of Rosemont.
