Newly renovated Oklawaha Brewing Company in downtown Hendersonville, NC is looking for a restaurant partner to fill their kitchen. Last year we did $840,000 in gross sales and averaged 132 checks per day — without an operating kitchen. Our guests are already here, already ordering, and already asking for food. We are inviting one restaurant partner to plug into that built-in traffic by operating a satellite kitchen inside our space. You bring the food. We bring the room, the beer, the brand, and the crowd. Why this is an unusual opportunity Proven traffic, day one. 132 checks a day, every day, that you don’t have to acquire. No grand opening gamble. The customers are already walking in. $840K in beverage sales feeds your top line. Beer drinkers eat. Industry rates suggest a kitchen could capture six figures of incremental food revenue in year one alone. Lower build-out, lower risk. A satellite footprint means a leaner operation than a standalone restaurant — less front-of-house staffing, no separate liquor license, no dining-room overhead.

Property Facts
Property Overview
We’re looking to work with an established restaurant partner to operate a permanent 800 sq foot kitchen within Oklawaha Brewing Company. Our space already has steady traffic, a strong local following, and an audience that consistently asks for a real food program. The potential here is unquestionable, Oklawaha Brewing’s location is 2nd to none in Hendersonville. We’re located just steps from Main Street & the old courthouse where the city hosts numerous events throughout the year which draw thousands of hungry tourists and locals. This would be a standalone kitchen operation with your branding, your menu control, and a clearly defined financial structure. We’re flexible on deal terms and are primarily interested in finding the right operator, not forcing a one-size-fits-all arrangement.
