Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants - Nationwide Signage Program

Supporting 60+ locations across the U.S., Elevate Sign Group provides Cooper’s Hawk with a fully integrated signage program that spans design, engineering, permitting, fabrication, installation, and long-term maintenance. As the brand continues rapid expansion, Elevate ensures every new restaurant opens with consistent, on-brand, and code-compliant signage—on schedule and without surprises.

Challenges & Objectives

Before implementing our strategy, our client faced several financial hurdles, including:

Opening new restaurants across diverse markets brings significant challenges:

  • Varying local codes and permitting requirements
  • Tight construction schedules with coordinated trade dependencies
  • Consistent brand standards across different architectural conditions
  • Ongoing service needs to support special events and operational demands
  • Rapid responsiveness when design, site conditions, or timelines change

Cooper’s Hawk required a partner who could operate as an extension of their internal team and adapt quickly as new information surfaced.

Elevate's Approach

Elevate delivers a comprehensive, proactive, and relationship-driven approach to Cooper’s Hawk’s national signage program.

Early Engagement & Strategic Planning

We partner with Cooper’s Hawk from the earliest stages of each new location:

  • Signage concepting and design intent
  • Code research for each municipality
  • Engineering recommendations and structural considerations
  • Budgeting and timeline alignment

This early involvement ensures that signage integrates seamlessly with architectural design and construction planning.

Program Management & Cross-Team Collaboration

To support a fast-growing national brand, Elevate maintains close working relationships with:

  • The Cooper’s Hawk signage development team
  • Partnering architects
  • Construction and project managers
  • Facilities management and operations

These relationships enable real-time communication, faster approvals, and the flexibility to respond immediately to changes in drawings, conditions, or branding requirements.

Fabrication & Installation Excellence

After design and approvals, Elevate manages all aspects of execution:

  • UL-certified fabrication of channel letters, cabinets, interior branding, and illuminated signage
  • Coordination with general contractors and trades
  • On-site installation teams scheduled to meet construction milestones
  • Photo documentation and QA at each location

Every location receives consistent brand representation regardless of geography or building type.

Ongoing Maintenance & Marketing Support

Beyond the grand opening, Elevate remains a long-term partner through:

  • Scheduled and on-demand service calls
  • Lighting and electrical maintenance
  • Repair calls for weather or site damage
  • Special event signage and seasonal brand elements
  • Rollout support for new marketing initiatives

This ensures the Cooper’s Hawk brand remains sharp, visible, and operational year-round.
