Cathy Hattenbach, president and owner of The Hattenbach Co., has been involved in a number of interesting commercial refrigeration projects over the years. Yet, she admits she felt a little thrill of excitement when she heard one of her company’s leading clients, Heinen’s Inc., a family-owned and operated regional supermarket chain, was planning to convert a long-abandoned landmark bank building in downtown Cleveland into a 27,000-square-foot grocery store.
“As a lifelong Clevelander, I found this such a beautiful building, and it’s unfortunate it’s been inaccessible to the public for 20 years,” said Hattenbach. “Kudos to Heinen’s for having the vision to put a supermarket in there.”
