Voodoo Brewing’s Alabama Expansion: The 2023 Spanish Fort Announcement

Jul 26, 2024 | 0 comments

Voodoo Brewing’s Alabama expansion was the subject of a public lease announcement in October 2023. This article now distinguishes that documented announcement from an earlier, unverified reference to Fairhope.

The documented Spanish Fort announcement

On October 16, 2023, CBRE announced that it had arranged a 5,035-square-foot lease for Voodoo Brewing at Eastern Shore Centre in Spanish Fort, Alabama. The release described the project as the brand’s first expansion into Alabama and said an opening was planned for later that year.

CBRE identified Tony Cordell as a co-owner and included his account of discovering the brand with Mo and purchasing a franchise. The announced premises were at 30500 Highway 181 in Spanish Fort. These are details of the 2023 announcement, not confirmation of a current opening schedule, operating status or business for sale.

Correction to the earlier Fairhope reference

An earlier version of this article described an unnamed husband-and-wife placement in Fairhope. We have not verified that placement or established that it was the same project as the Spanish Fort lease. The two cities should not be treated as interchangeable. Unverified career details, local competitor counts and predictions of business success have been removed.

What a prospective franchise owner should investigate

A lease announcement can document one step in a project, but it does not establish future profitability. When considering a food-and-beverage franchise, investigate the particular premises, required approvals, operating responsibilities and applicable franchise documents. Use our guide to new franchise locations and resales to separate a new opening from buying an existing business.
