Upbeet will operate from mixed-use building Three Thirty Three, located at
333 11th Ave. S. Young + Hungry is the parent company of the concept, which was founded in 2017 and operates an eatery in Atlantaâs Midtown district. Company officials could not be reached for comment.
A permit, valued at about $162,700, has been issued to allow for the build-out of the space in Three Thirty Three. Nashville-based Dowdle Construction will handle the job.
Upbeet bills itself as focused on organic and non-GMO offerings. Animal proteins are sourced only from farms that âresponsibly raise their animals,â the company website notes.
On this theme, Upbeet s green efforts include the use of Energy Star equipment; LED lighting; water-efficient toilets, restroom fixtures and kitchen faucets; and 100 percent compostable cups and to-go packaging.
The Chocolate Cloud
A Feb. 14 opening is slated for Blue Stripes Urban Cacao in the Three Thirty Three building in The Gulch.
Oded Brenner, founder and CEO of the New York City-based restaurant company, told the
Post he selected The Gulch as his first Nashville location due to its foot traffic, hotels and other retailers. He is planning to open a Blue Stripes Urban Cacao in Louisville in the spring with the same group that will own the Nashville store.
Brenner said he expects about 10 employees to work at the location in The Gulch. Blue Stripes focuses on fruit energy shakes and bowls, granola, snacks, milk, butter and protein balls, among other items. In Nashville, the shop will offer cacao espresso, cappuccino and latte coffee, pastries, grab-and-go sandwiches and a mousse-like drink called The Chocolate Cloud.
