- Market Outlook / Competition
- Located in the heart of downtown Wake Forest (Median HHI $106k+), Norse Brewing is a high-visibility anchor in the town’s new Social District. The unique Scandinavian-Southern fusion concept and balanced 45/45 food-to-beverage revenue split provide a stable "moat" against competitors. Massive growth potential exists via wholesale distribution and private events in the 8,222 sq. ft. facility.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Opportunity to Increase Profit by $500,000+ Currently, the brewery only supplies its craft beer internally to its 2 locations, but a new owner could easily scale the operation, distributing beer to the broader region for increased profits, incurring no additional fixed costs.
