What this tenant is looking for
Physical criteria
Established BBQ catering and food truck operation looking for a home base to store our equipment and park our vehicles. We have our own smokers, our own industrial-sized refrigerators and our own sink, and we hold a mobile/transient food license through Kenosha County that allows us to cook out of our food trailer.
Ideally we would have a 10' drive-in door so we can pull one trailer inside — our 1,000-gallon trailer-mounted smoker — along with room to store equipment. Our other vehicles (food truck and stock trailer) can park outside; we need roughly 5 parking spaces. We do not need to park everything indoors.
The one thing we really need is a place that is comfortable with us smoking our meat on the grounds without concern, typically 2 to 6 days per week. All of our cooking happens in our licensed mobile units — nothing is cooked inside the building itself. Indoor prep space for the winter would be a plus but is not a requirement; we are licensed to work and cook exclusively out of the truck.
We are happy to work with the health department on any licensing that is required. The space needs to allow the use under current zoning or have a realistic path to approval. Lease term is flexible, and we are open to industrial, flex or storage buildings with yard space, including off-market opportunities.
