Restaurant being built at the El Rancho

When one calls the El Rancho Hotel, the greeting message reminds callers that the coffee shop, lounge and restaurant are closed for remodeling.

The remodeling will include a new restaurant, casino, lounge and much more.

Ground has officially been broken on the remodeling project which will continue through the winter.

Englewood Construction announced in a press release earlier this month that they had broken ground on the Williston Brewing Company which will take the place of the old El Rancho restaurant.

The restaurant will include a casino, complete with video poker and blackjack table; 65 flat screen televisions; a mechanical bull, a wine room and private dining and banquet facilities with seating for 250, Englewood Construction announced in the press release.

The Williston Brewing company will feature a 12,000 square foot restaurant and lounge which will be attached to the 92-room hotel.

Business is booming in North Dakota and savvy national developers have been able to deliver much-needed projects to towns and cities that have experienced incredible population and economic growth, said William Di Santo, president of Englewood Construction in the release. Not every contractor can pull off work in remote areas due to labor and logistical challenges, but if you have a tight national network and the proper experience, well-connected firms like Englewood Construction can solve a lot of problems for developers.

Getting workers to come to the area has been a problem for many developments planned in the area, but Englewood said they have hired a superintendent who will live in a motor home on site during the remodeling process.

Englewood Construction is based out of Lemont, Ill. Established in 2001, it specializes in retail and restaurant construction. It has managed projects in 28 states and have a vendor base of around 20,000 subcontractors and vendor.

Minneapolis-based Studio M. Architect was also hired to be the acting architectural firm for the project.
