JANSON and Compass Group Collaborate to Revamp Army Dining Facilities Across America

JANSON Partners with Compass Group to Enhance U.S. Army Dining Experience

In a groundbreaking initiative, JANSON has announced a partnership with Compass Group USA aimed at transforming the dining experience for the U.S. Army's personnel. This collaboration is a pivotal part of a five-year effort dedicated to designing, renovating, and modernizing dining facilities across key Army installations throughout the country.

As the exclusive design and renovation subcontractor for Compass Group, JANSON will focus on enhancing dining facilities at major bases including Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Stewart in Georgia, Fort Carson in Colorado, Fort Hood in Texas, and Fort Drum in New York. This exciting project falls under the umbrella of the Army's broader Food Program modernization strategy, which prioritizes elevating the overall quality of life for soldiers and their families.

Janet Chihocky, the CEO and Founder of JANSON, expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership: "We are tremendously honored to assist Compass Group in supporting the men and women who serve by delivering innovative solutions that enhance their dining experiences. It's a privilege, especially as a small business, to be recognized as a leader in the modernization of dining spaces."

Modernization Focus

The project aims to provide Army personnel with an enhanced dining experience by introducing various food venues offering healthier meal options, extended dining hours, flexible seating arrangements, and modern technology integration. The objective is to create a welcoming social atmosphere that encourages interaction among the soldiers, enhancing their overall quality of life.

JANSON, known for its specialization in next-generation facilities modernization and branded environments, will implement customized designs and fabrications focused on optimizing dining facilities. According to Chihocky, the approach is to seamlessly blend tradition with innovation, ensuring that the newly transformed dining facilities reflect the unique identity of the Army while meeting operational needs.

"Considering our decades of experience in revitalizing Army facilities both in the U.S. and overseas, it was only natural for us to take on this responsible role as the sole design and renovation partner," said Chihocky. "We’re thrilled to be involved in such a mission-critical initiative that ultimately supports those who protect our freedoms."

Long-Term Vision

The modernization initiative is set to bring about substantial changes that are not just seen but felt throughout the Army installations. The facilities will focus on improving dining experiences by being adaptive to the dietary preferences and health needs of military personnel. With an increasing awareness of health and wellness, the availability of nutritious food choices will play a critical role in the overall well-being of soldiers.

These upgraded facilities are expected to feature versatile seating arrangements that can accommodate various group sizes for both formal and informal gatherings. Additionally, there will be an emphasis on creating social spaces where soldiers can relax and connect with one another away from the demands of their daily duties.
