Soul Food

Axis Group International was retained to secure a premier commercial retail location for a regional hospitality brand expanding an upscale Soul Food dining concept into Tampa, Florida. Soul food operations demand unique infrastructure parameters—including heavy black-iron hood ventilation, large-capacity grease traps, high electrical service, and flexible zoning for late-night service and outdoor dining. Axis Group executed a targeted 2nd-generation site selection strategy, negotiating optimal lease terms while mitigating $700,000+ in tenant capital expenditures.
