ReMax Realtors Scott Garrison and Diana Sacoto recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Trinity Wright, the incredible Event, Marketing, and Property Manager for The Food Factory in the heart of Oviedo on the Park. Get ready to discover why this spot is so much more than just a place to eat!
From Global Travels to Local Treasure: The Food Hall Concept
The owner of The Oviedo Food Factory is a professional commercial real estate developer from the UK with a passion for travel and fell in love with the concept of food halls during his journeys. He envisioned bringing this vibrant idea back to his local Florida community. His keen professional eye recognized the immense potential in Oviedo on the Park. Back in 2018, he acquired a large plot of land and meticulously developed it into the community hub we see today.
Oviedo Food Factory is a collection of restaurants, multiple, usually smaller scale. Unlike a traditional mall food court, The Food Factory features micro-restaurants, each with its own storefront and door. This unique setup offers businesses more individuality while creating a bustling hub where you can explore diverse culinary options all in one place.
Beyond the Bite: An Experiential Oasis
What truly sets The Food Factory apart in Oviedo is its experiential element. They really focus on making this an entertainment center for all and make sure that this isn’t just about grabbing a meal but it is about creating memories.
- Live Music & Events: The Food Factory constantly hosts events, ensuring there’s always something happening.
- Fitness at the Factory: Start your Sundays right with free morning fitness classes.
- Courtyard Markets: Discover local treasures at farmers market-style events.
- Spirit Tastings: From Tito’s to bourbons, whiskeys, tequilas, and vodkas, they turn tastings into a full-blown experience for friends and family.
The Food Factory became a vital part of Oviedo with its public spaces where you can simply gather, whether you’re hungry or not. It’s an open, inviting environment, perfect for families (you’ll often see kids playing while parents relax), and it seamlessly blends into the fabric of the Oviedo community!
