Embassy
Coffee

The old Smith Bar had been an eye sore in the community for years. After a lengthy battle with the City of Mishawaka, they were forced to sell the building after their liquor license was revoked.

TRG led the acquisition, redevelopment, and construction of the old bar into a coffee shop. Working closely with the new tenant, Chris May (owner of Embassy Coffee), TRG designed a new coffee shop and included some major infrastructure upgrades to include a new grease trap, walk-in refrigerator, and kitchen hood system.

Midway through the construction in 2022, the building experienced a fire in the space and construction had to start all over again. 2 years after Smith Bar closed its doors, Embassy Coffee finally opened and served its first cup of coffee on December 22nd at the TRG Annual Christmas Party.
