Johnson-Lancaster Adds Local Arm

Johnson-Lancaster and Associates has launched the Las Vegas Restaurant Design Group, to be led by President Michael Benson.

Benson, a resident of Summerlin, Nev., has over 30 years of experience in the industry, comprising hospitality design and architecture, notes a release. Benson currently helms the IFE Group/ Southern California Restaurant Design Group, also a subsidiary of Johnson-Lancaster.

“With my deep-rooted relationships in this market and past experience building projects such as the Jose Andres Bazaar Mar in the Crystal Mall, I’m confident this expansion will be a great success,” Benson says.

Supporting Benson is Adam Swick as national contract sales manager. Swick has a background in construction and sales leadership, including roles with Behr/KILZ Paint and as vice president for the South and West regions at TriMark.

“With Adam’s strong local expertise and our wealth of experience, LVRDG will bring a new, much-needed resource to the Las Vegas restaurant and hotel community,” says Benson.

The LVRDG will be based in Las Vegas. For more information, contact info@lvrestaurantdesign.com.
