Apotheos Coffee Roastery Branding & Packaging
Coffee is more than a beverage staple in the United States. It’s a ritual and some may argue, a religion. While differences over roast intensity, origin, and flavor profile will always be prevalent, the connectivity between people remains a strong byproduct of coffee. And it’s that connectivity we seek to foster in the world. To […]
eegee’s QSR restaurant rebranding
In 2019, Vigor and eegee’s met for the first time. eegee’s (always lowercase) was a hyper-local QSR with 25+ units—all in Tucson, Arizona. A year later, eegee’s is breaking all-time sales records and planning an aggressive expansion in Phoenix for 2021. What happened in the middle is a great example of how Vigor can reinvigorate […]
Taptown Brewpub & Bar branding & concept development
When Bill and Jay first presented their concept to Vigor, we were a little tongue-tied. While we’re used to nudging our clients to be bold and do something different, Bill and Jay brought that part in spades. Their concept would be a one-of-a kind beer tasting experience with 100 self-serve taps, kiosk ordering for food, […]

Zinnia bakery & café branding
A café can be so much more than a place to grab coffee and run. It should be a place of community and gathering. A place where one can energize their mind, body, and spirit. This was the vision for the cafés inside the Holbrook collection of active adult living facilities. Vigor was asked to […]
Socialite full service restaurant branding
Food may inspire what’s on our plate, but people ultimately inspire what we do every day.

Hipburger QSR burger branding
The better burger boom was well on its way to reaching a boiling point, but while every strived for the most “chef-driven” approach, the bliss that comes from a damn-good burger seemed to get lost. What happened to the simple goodness of a great burger? Why weren’t we free to enjoy that no-nonsense perfection? Luckily […]
Great Bagel & Bakery rebranding and interior design
Though it’s not obvious at first, husband-and-wife restaurateurs Lara and Robert Swan are not, first and foremost, bagel enthusiasts. True, they founded Great Bagel, an institution that is beloved by Lexington locals. But as Vigor soon discovered, the Swans are more than bakers: they’re food system revolutionaries. Why else would they have spent years researching […]
