USA, NC: Free Range Brewing to open second location in Charlottte
A big redevelopment of former factories and warehouses off of Statesville Avenue in Charlotte will soon be home to a brewery, the Charlotte Observer reported on June 14.
Free Range Brewing plans to open a second location at Camp North End this summer, project developer ATCO Properties & Management announced. The brewery, which has its flagship location on North Davidson Street, will serve its locally-sourced, small batch beers in a 1,544-square-foot taproom.
Camp North End is part of a trend across the city known as adaptive reuse, or refurbishing an old building for a new purpose or tenant.
According to a press release from ATCO, Camp North End is one of the largest adaptive reuse projects underway in the country. Ford Model Ts and missiles were once manufactured on the 75-acre site.
The development is already home to tenants like Junior Achievement of Central Carolinas, Goodyear Arts, co-working company Hygge, and art galleries and studios. Ally Bank recently opened an innovation studio there, which it will expand into a vintage trailer on the site, according to the release.
