The .9 acre tract at the northeast corner of NW 9th and Hudson sold for $2.25 million and plans call for a yet to be named Mexican restaurant by the Good Egg Dining Group plus a bar, in addition to other businesses to be added later.
The Swansons owned the property for decades and sold to Mike Crouse in 2008. Friday will be the last day of business and all employees have been informed.
The property includes four different structures: the main building fronting Hudson, an east addition to the main building along the north side of the property, a small building facing 9th and another small building facing Harvey.
Good Egg will be taking approximately 5,000 square feet on the south end of the main building and also building out a large 2,500 square foot courtyard / patio in the open area in the center of the tract.
The north half of the main building and the east addition will be renovated for retail, restaurant and office use.
The development group is also in the final stages of securing a bar for the building on 9th which would also include a small patio.
The small building facing Harvey is being reserved for future redevelopment. The group also owns a small parking lot on the southeast corner of 9th & Hudson.
Good Egg continues its rapid expansion having recently opened The Drake in Uptown and announcing plans for a large Republic Gastropub in the Chisholm Creek development on Memorial Road. In addition to the original Republic in Classen Curve, Good Egg also operates Cheever's, three Tucker's locations, Iron Star, Kitchen No. 324 and Red PrimeSteak.
Good Egg President Keith Paul told OKCTalk that the newest restaurant will be quite large; 5,000 square feet plus a full 2,500 square foot outdoor patio. Lunch and dinner will be served 7 days a week with brunch on weekends. The concept will feature smart portions, handmade tortillas, wood-fired grilled meats and vegetables and a full bar.
Architect will be Jeremy Gardner and plans and renderings will be released later.
In addition to Johnson, partners in the project include Andy Burnett, Keith Paul, David Wanzer, Ben Sellers, Johnathan Dodson, Rohan Gupta and Aman Aggarwal.
