Greenleaf partnered with Don’s Seafood to renovate its existing Covington restaurant, refreshing the guest experience while preserving the history, branding, and familiarity associated with the longtime Louisiana restaurant.
One of the most significant changes was the addition of a new entrance tower designed to give the restaurant a stronger presence from the street and create a more recognizable arrival point. The new entrance also allowed accessible parking to be relocated from the rear of the building to a more convenient location near the front door.
A covered exterior waiting area provides additional space for guests and to-go customers, with overhead cooling helping make the area more comfortable during warmer months. Inside, the new entrance leads to a more prominent hostess area with additional waiting space and integrated Don’s branding and graphics.
Greenleaf also reorganized portions of the dining room with new booths and seating configurations to improve circulation and make better use of the existing restaurant. Branding elements, historical memorabilia, and merchandise were incorporated throughout the interior to maintain a clear connection to Don’s long history while giving the Covington location a refreshed appearance.
The successful renovation became the foundation for continued work with Don’s Seafood at multiple existing locations across Louisiana. Elements developed through the Covington project, including the entrance tower and refreshed brand approach, helped establish a design direction that could be adapted as other restaurants were updated.
