By | Commercial, Glass Garage Door | No Comments
The new Gahanna "Sports Bar for Foodies" The sports bar scene and brewery boom in Columbus has kept us busy installing glass restaurant garage doors the last 5 years. And business isn't slowing down. On June 27th, SuperChef's founder Darnell Ferguson launched his newest restaurant venture - Stadium Sports Bar - in Gahanna's Creekside Plaza. He refers to it as "a sports bar for foodies."

But they'd be the first to argue that their best features are: Flaming Hot Mac...

The R-Value will help with conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfers but doesn’t account...
