Mellow Mushroom Restaurant

Mellow Mushroom in Farragut, Tennessee, has been serving pizza, beer and fun to guests for over 15 years. The restaurant is one of 230 Mellow Mushroom retail restaurant locations across the South and Southwest. The years had taken their toll on the Farragut location’s original, polished concrete flooring, which was beginning to fail: cracking and, beyond aesthetics, creating safety concerns. So the design team looked for a flooring that not only would warm up the look of the restaurant, but improve things from a performance standpoint: longer-lasting and safer. They chose Aspecta planks not only for their good looks, but also for their staying power. And, of course, how well Aspecta stands up to the unique challenges of a very busy restaurant with easy care and maintenance. With a warm look and comfort under foot, Mellow Mushroom is feelin’ groovy with Aspecta!

“The Aspecta LVT gives such a warm feel to the space compared to the stained concrete floor that had been in place for so long. It’s really changed the way the restaurant looks and has been impactful to what the guests see coming in. The wood look makes such a better atmosphere. I am pleasantly surprised about how it is holding up with spills and scuffs. Maintenance is easy – it’s keeping its shine. The day after they put down the Aspecta floor, I said, ‘It looks like a brand new restaurant!’ And other renovation changes hadn’t even been made yet.”
– Scott Mathis, Owner, Mellow Mushroom

"Everybody is thrilled – it’s a great looking floor. It went in very easily. Going over stained concrete can be difficult, but we had no problems whatsoever. We just scuffed up the concrete, skim coated and primed the floor, and installed ASPECTA right over the top.”
