Mellow Mushroom Rolls Out Its Largest Rebrand – What Does This Mean For The Augusta Locations?
Celebrating almost 50 years, Mellow Mushroom has introduced its largest rebrand ever.
Augusta has two Mellow Mushrooms, one located in Evans, GA, and another located in Downtown Augusta. If you are familiar with the area, you know that the Downtown Augusta Mellow Mushroom just went through its own revamp. Now, with large teal and purple LED signs that read “Mellow Mushroom”, that location has moved down the street to a larger location after 19 years.
This national rebrand changed a little bit of everything, from its logo to its website to its restaurant design. This has been in the works for over a year and now it is officially here.
What does the rebrand include?
- Refreshed visuals with a new color scheme
- New uniforms for employees
- Newly designed menus
- New in-store signage
- An updated Mel O. Mushroom, the brand’s character
- Revamped retail shop to to reflect the rebrand
They have also noticed that more than 30% of their customers are coming from online orders, so the online purchasing experience has also been revamped to allow for a more cohesive website that includes online ordering and payments. Before this, Mellow Mushroom had its website and a separate site for ordering online orders, now it will all be one.
These new changes rolled out on November 7 and just a week from then, November 14, the business will launch its first-ever TV connected campaign.
Both locations in the CSRA changed their Facebook profile picture to the the newest Mellow Mushroom logo in the past 24 hours.
The restaurant originated right here in Georgia, two hours from Augusta, in the city of Atlanta.
They will also be bringing a new prototype to the founding city.
At the end of next summer, a Mellow Mushroom Prototype will be placed in Atlanta’s Grant Park. The prototype will be about 1,000 square feet smaller than a traditional Mellow Mushroom restaurant so a more compact restaurant.
The point of this rebrand and revamp is for customers to have a clear understanding of what Mellow Mushrooms’ brand identity is.
