What is the Industrial Dining trend?
Industrial Dining: The recession hit many hard and continued to put large corporations in a negative light in the eyes of consumers. In a variety of industries, we're seeing consumers embracing rough-around-the-edges experiences, particularly with regards to retail and dining. Shipping container buildings, exposed support beams and intentional rust are all elements of this aesthetic movement away from the sterility of traditional corporate offerings.
