Brunch Spot Gets Luxe Makeover With Gold Accents and Textured Wall Wraps

WHEN MARIO’S EARLY Toast expanded to its fifth location, the restaurant chain’s executives turned once again to Sacramento, CA-based WrapStar Pro to bring its signature branding to life. Having rebranded its first location in 2020 — transitioning from a classic mustard-and-ketchup theme to a sleek black-and-white mimosa lounge vibe — WrapStar Pro took things a step further this time. By incorporating luxurious gold accents and earth textures, the elegant wall wraps reflect the upscale community the eatery serves and transformed it into a classy-with-a-touch-of-luxury hot spot.

Completed in December 2024, this project transformed the restaurant’s walls, windows, and signage with 1,190 square feet of premium vinyl graphics. The installation included approximately 750 square feet of wall wraps and 440 square feet of frost vinyl, along with custom outdoor window signage.

Premium materials make for a rock-star finished project. WrapStar Pro used Arlon’s Non-PVC Vital Wall Film DPF V9500 with Series V3370 Satin Overlam — a cutting-edge product set to launch at ISA. Frost vinyl graphics were created using Arlon Ever Etched, and window signage featured Arlon DPF 4600GLX with Arlon Series 3420 overlaminate. For additional branding, BriteLine Cut Vinyl Gloss White was used for signage details.

All graphics were printed on the Roland DG TrueVIS VG3 series wide-format printer/cutters, ensuring vibrant colors and precision detailing. this particularly is crucial for achieving the perfect gold tones that define the new aesthetic.

Nothing’s ever easy though, right? Navigating around permanent structures such as the hostess desk, booths, and a narrow bar required WrapStar Pro’s expert precision. Additionally, applying frost vinyl in cold temperatures posed difficulties. But the team efficiently tackled this using YelloTools’ TimberMaxx Squeegee for a seamless, scratch-free installation.

By combining top-tier materials, innovative printing technology, and expert craftsmanship, WrapStar Pro turned Mario’s Early Toast into a brunch destination with luxury appeal. Owner Kristin Lanzarone summed it up best: “Being able to transform a new restaurant into a beautiful luxury space to enjoy brunch sets a vibe that most restaurants miss out on. With the proper tools and production equipment, we were able to elevate an ordinary restaurant space into something truly remarkable.”
