New Corporate Offices to Open Soon
We are happy to announce our upcoming move to the new Griner Engineering Corporate offices on the third floor located at 3125 5th Avenue N in St. Petersburg. Construction is underway and we anticipate moving at the end of April.

- Added window film to improve the shading coefficient and reduce solar heating
- A new roof with an added R-25 insulation to reduce heat gain
- A new photovoltaic (PV) system to provide power for the building

New Kahwa Coffee concept coming to 4th Street N
There’s a new drive-thru concept coming to St. Pete. Kahwa Coffee is planning a new location on 4th Street N made entirely of recycled shipping containers. The new drive-thru concept targets people-on-the-go, with outdoor seating available for walk-up customers who would like to sit and enjoy their coffee.
The new 4th Street N location is not the first time the company has used this idea and its success may determine its use for new locations in the future. Griner Engineering is pleased to partner with Kahwa Coffee to offer mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design on this new design project.
