Table Ready
Table Ready is a new initiative by the Downtown Memphis Commission (DMC) to fill vacant move-in ready restaurant spaces. The program is designed for small local food service businesses to test out the downtown market in a low-rent space, strengthening the business ecosystem and improving the pedestrian experience in the city’s core through the recruitment of new businesses to downtown. Selected businesses will be allowed to operate in the pop-up space for up to one year for $500 a month (utilities included).
The DMC is currently looking to fill the space at 12 S Main St, the former location of Café Keough. To learn more about the space and the program, please follow the links below.
