Fox Restaurant Concepts: Nine Patios in Eight States, Built to the Brand Book
Fox Restaurant Concepts designs its restaurants in-house and holds them to a look, from Flower Child’s white-and-green storefronts to Culinary Dropout’s red awnings and neon. Since 2020 the group has brought us into nine openings in eight states, and each enclosure had to disappear into the design: black borders at The Domain, gray screens on the Prairie Village planters, a wall of mesh at Birmingham.
What we built
- Customer: Fox Restaurant Concepts, Phoenix, Arizona, for its Flower Child and Culinary Dropout brands. Fox’s facilities and design teams ran every project with us directly.
- 9 locations in 8 states: Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Utah and Kansas.
- About 125 panels and 9 doors: manual roll-up clear panels with brand-colored borders on seven patios, a mesh sun shade wall at Birmingham, and motorized screens with clear windows at Franklin and Prairie Village.
- About 12,000 square feet of enclosure.
- Ordered through: The Screen Company of America on the Atlanta, Dunwoody and Birmingham builds.

Working inside someone else’s design
Fox does not ask for a catalog enclosure. The design team sends the elevation, we lay the panels out to it, and the border color, hood color and door frame come from the brand book. At Franklin that meant screens tucked under the red awning so the neon still reads from the street. At Prairie Village it meant gray screens that sit behind the cedar planters and roll up into the black fascia. At Salt Lake City the openings were 22 feet wide with no place for a post, so the curtains were split into 11-foot panels that hang from the steel alone.
What made this one different
Eight states and one standard. The same facilities director and the same design coordinator have run every one of these with us, so a Flower Child in Kansas opens with the same enclosure process as the one in Austin six years earlier. The move from manual to motorized at Franklin and Prairie Village is the group’s call as the brands go north into real winters.
