Protein snack Shop
Owner: Dana and Sonny Hampton
Location: 879 Seven Oaks Boulevard, Suite 620, Smyrna, Tennessee
Project Scope: New retail and commercial kitchen space
Protein Snack Shop owners Dana and Sonny Hampton were renting retail and commercial kitchen space when they first started their business in 2018. Soon, due to immense popularity, Protein Snack Shop needed a new home.
Dow Smith Company helped the Hamptons find, and then build-out, 2,000 square feet at 879 Seven Oaks Boulevard, Suite 620 in the Seven Oaks Business Park. The Dow Smith team built the original four buildings at Seven Oaks and returned a few years later to construct the fifth building where The Hamptons’ new facility is located. Protein Snack Shop’s new location includes ovens, freezers, coolers, prep space, and a product packing room. Sonny and Dana say they couldn’t be happier with their new location, and they’ve enjoyed working with Dow Smith Company every step of the way.
When it comes to establishing or expanding a commercial operation, one of the most critical decisions business owners and executives face is whether to lease a commercial space or build a ground-up facility. Both options have their merits, and the choice ultimately depends on your business goals, financial situation, and long-term vision. As a design-build firm, we understand the complexities of this decision and aim to provide clarity on the benefits and advantages of each option.
