At Shady Maple Smorgasbord, Comfort Extends Beyond the Buffet with Scranton Products® Eclipse Partitions®
East Earl, Pennsylvania
In Lancaster County, the Shady Maple Smorgasbord has long been known as one of Pennsylvania’s most popular dining destinations. The famous Pennsylvania Dutch smorgasbord features hundreds of feet of food, offering guests an enormous variety of homemade comfort dishes, classic American favorites, and Amish-style cooking. Alongside the restaurant, visitors can explore a large farm market and gift shop, making Shady Maple a food-centered experience that draws travelers from across the country.
With thousands of guests visiting each week, the restaurant recently completed a full renovation designed to elevate comfort while preserving the welcoming atmosphere that has made the destination so well known.
A key focus of the renovation was making sure the restroom facilities matched the quality of the dining experience. For a restaurant that hosts such high guest volume, the restrooms needed to feel clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Scranton Products Eclipse Partitions were selected as the preferred solution.
The new restroom space was designed to continue the feel of the restaurant’s warm, traditional brand. Natural stone-look tile flooring, warm wood accents, and soft neutral wall finishes create a calm, upscale environment that feels consistent with the overall renovation.
The installed partitions suit the space perfectly. The soft gray HDPE finish complements the tile and wall textures throughout the space. Tall panels with overhead bracing and sturdy floor-mounted supports provide stability for high-traffic use. The custom-designed metal framing system also simplified the installation. Hidden hardware and crisp panel lines reinforce the clean, upscale aesthetic.
Beyond appearance, the material performance was a major factor in the product selection. Eclipse Partitions are manufactured from solid HDPE, delivering long-term durability in busy commercial environments like Shady Maple Smorgasboard. Key benefits include:
- No painting – Solid color throughout the material means Eclipse Partitions never need to be painted or refinished, reducing long-term maintenance.
- Easy to clean – The partitions can be cleaned using a common, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Healthier restrooms – The non-porous HDPE surface resists moisture and does not support the growth of mold or mildew. The material will also never rust.
- Exceptional durability – Solid construction delivers superior resistance to dents, impacts, and daily wear.
- Sustainable – Manufactured with recycled material and designed to eliminate repainting, Eclipse Partitions can support sustainability goals.
The long-term value provided by Eclipse Partitions means The Shady Maple Smorgasbord is set up to provide a comfortable guest experience for years and decades to come. Although the buffet, gift shop, and culture are the main attractions, every detail matters to keep customers coming back.
