This .49 acre property was purchased in January 2020 from Prather Properties, LLC who had owned the property for 100+ years. The site originally housed a portion of Kissimmee's Coca-Cola Bottling plant where the trucks were loaded with Coca-Cola products. George Holmes Prather, moved to Kissimmee from Clinton, S.C. in 1902. Among several other business ventures he founded, he opened the Kissimmee Coca-Cola Bottling Company in 1909. The Prather family sold their Coca-Cola franchise in 1969 but continued to bottle Dr Pepper and Grapette until 1972 at this site.
Prior to that, In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s while Kissimmee was one of the fastest growing port towns in the US, the site featured the Broadway House, a cobbler, a stable, and a lumberyard. Many old coins were found from this era during the exterior site work.
The interior of the existing 5800 sq ft building was renovated from warehouse space into three different retail, office/studio and restaurant/brewery/bar spaces. The outdoor 4500 foot expansion added retail/food vendor space. The design reflects inspiration from buildings found in Historic Downtown Kissimmee from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. Both interior and exterior will include Coca-Cola inspiration as well.
This shows the before and after development of the site
