OLP Helps Gordon Ramsay to

Rebuild Ellicott City, MD

Background

Ellicott City is a historic district in the metro Baltimore, Maryland area and was devasted by massive floods in 2016 and 2018. Local businesses have struggled to rebuild and thrive after these “100-year floods.”

FOX’s Gordan Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back: Save Our Town chose two Ellicott City restaurants to help rebuild – the Little Market Café and Phoenix Brewing—with the help of the Maryland National Guard, Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame baseball player Cal Ripken Jr., and former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith.

Goal

The goal of this show is to help struggling restaurants rebuild in a quick amount of time. Local businesses banded together to boost the Little Market Café and Phoenix Brewing and drive more business.

Tim O’Brien of Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Baltimore was invited to help the restaurants by adding custom lighting solutions to the exteriors of the businesses. “We are honored we could play a part in the rebuilding of Ellicott City with Gordan Ramsay and his team,” says Tim. “As a fellow small business owner, I can only imagine the sleepless nights that these owners endured as a result of these floods. The owners, and this historic town in general, deserved this makeover and I’m honored we could play a small part.”

Solution

Tim O’Brien designed a custom string lighting installation for each restaurant to attract clients and boost sales.

For the Little Market Café, a new outdoor seating area was created including a stone patio and fire pit. OLP installed bistro lighting over the space to make it more welcoming and provide more space for customers to sit after the sun goes down.

For Phoenix Brewing Company, a local artist was commissioned to paint a large mural on the building’s exterior depicting Ellicott City’s rebirth. Bistro lighting was again used, but this time over the alley between Phoenix Brewing and its neighboring building ensuring that the mural could be appreciated by passersby.

    Not that they need another 5 star review but they have one anyway. They came out to my house twice in an 8 month span to give me estimates. They were thorough, professional, and very respectful of my privacy.

    “From design to installation, the process was seamless and professional. The lights have made our walking paths safer at night. The lighting plan for our landscaping, oak trees, and clubhouse has transformed our club. The results are breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives.”

    I am impressed with this company. I called to get a quote for outdoor lighting. The technician showed up and emailed me a quote that same day. My husband and I have decided to sell our house, but once we move we'll definitely be giving these guys a call.
