Groom Construction Completes Full Renovation of Golf Galaxy Store in Ocala, FL
Groom Construction is proud to announce the successful completion of a comprehensive 22-week renovation of a 20,000-square-foot Golf Galaxy retail store in Ocala, Florida. The project transformed an open-box retail space into a fully modernized, brand-compliant environment, delivered on time and under budget through effective coordination, efficient scheduling, and detailed management of all trades.
The renovation included a complete overhaul of the store’s exterior, beginning with the demolition of the existing façade and the installation of a new, modernized entrance system designed to improve visibility and enhance customer appeal. Updated exterior finishes, lighting, and signage infrastructure completed the refreshed exterior presentation.
Inside, Groom Construction executed a full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing replacement to meet current performance standards and support store operations. Five new rooftop HVAC units were installed with all-new ductwork and controls, providing improved comfort and energy efficiency. The plumbing system was completely rebuilt to accommodate upgraded restrooms, a new breakroom, and additional utility needs. A fully new electrical system – including updated panels, wiring, lighting, switching, and dedicated power for specialty displays – ensured reliable performance throughout the store.
Safety and technology enhancements were major components of the project. Groom Construction installed a brand-new fire sprinkler system meeting all NFPA and local code requirements. A new telecommunications system and audio system were integrated to support store operations, internal communications, and customer engagement.
The interior build-out also featured significant program elements, including the construction of five new golf simulation centers. Each simulator bay was built with dedicated framing, electrical and data infrastructure, acoustic treatments, flooring, and coordinated installation of vendor-supplied equipment. The team additionally constructed a fully outfitted employee breakroom with cabinetry, appliances, and complete utility hookups. Interior improvements across the sales floor and back-of-house areas included new flooring, ceiling systems, lighting, paint, and finishes.
The completed Golf Galaxy store now reflects a modern, operationally efficient, and customer-focused retail environment aligned with the brand’s national standards. Groom Construction is proud to deliver another successful project and continues its commitment to providing high-quality retail construction solutions across the region.
