🚀 Invest in NOOPs

NOOPs Bistro & Midwest Market is a one-of-a-kind dining and retail concept bringing bold Midwestern flavors to the heart of Charlotte, NC. Featuring comfort food classics like Goetta and Cincinnati-style chili, alongside local beer, wine, coffee, and a curated market, NOOPs offers a warm, nostalgic experience with modern, locally sourced flair. We partner with local farmers, brewers, and bakers to create a menu and marketplace rooted in quality, sustainability, and community. More than a restaurant, NOOPs is a hub for culinary creatives and a gathering space for locals and transplants alike. This is your chance to invest in a unique, scalable concept that blends regional identity with Southern hospitality.

Charlotte is one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S., attracting over 117 new residents per day and more than 59,000 newcomers in 2022 alone. This population boom includes a highly educated and diverse demographic drawn by strong job opportunities, a vibrant culture, and affordable living. With over 687,000 college-educated individuals in the region and a projected metro population of 4.6 million by 2050, the city is primed for innovative, community-centered businesses like NOOPs. As the Midwest sees continued out-migration, many transplants are landing in Charlotte—creating a unique opportunity to serve those craving a taste of home while introducing locals to authentic Midwest flavors. NOOPs is perfectly positioned to meet this growing demand with a fresh, nostalgic, and locally rooted experience.

NOOPs is positioned to become a thriving, one-of-a-kind establishment in Charlotte, filling a market gap with its unique offering of authentic Midwest cuisine, craft beverages, and a specialty retail market. With a strategic location, exclusive menu, and strong community focus, our goal is to reach profitability within the first year and expand regionally.

We are currently raising a high six-figure seed round to fund build-out, equipment, inventory, marketing, and working capital. Our model is designed for strong margins and long-term growth, with projected first-year revenue between $950K–$1.5M across in-restaurant dining, takeout, catering, and retail sales; breaking even within the first year of operations.
