Looking to collaborate with a local business!
Reactor Room is preparing to move into a new space and we are exploring the opportunity to partner with an existing business that may want to expand into a second location.
We are looking for a partner interested in operating a small food and beverage component within the space. The concept would focus primarily on beverages with a simple menu such as burgers fries and light snacks designed for quick and easy service.
This could be a great opportunity for a local restaurant bar or food business that wants to grow their brand in a new location without taking on a full standalone expansion.
Reactor Room is working on something new and exciting and this next phase will bring a completely different experience to the community.
If you or someone you know may be interested in collaborating please send us a message.
Stay tuned as we reveal more details about this exciting venture.
