If you are like me and find yourself dreaming of buildings that have a real soul, you probably already know this landmark. Originally built in the early 1900s as Jorgensen’s General Store, this is one of the most famous historic spots in all of Brevard County. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which means it isn’t just a building—it is a protected treasure that tells the story of our past. Walking up to the front, you are greeted by those classic, deep covered porches that make Old Florida architecture so special. You can almost see the ghosts of neighbors from a century ago sitting out here to trade news. The wood-frame construction and shingle roof have been kept in beautiful shape, preserving that rustic charm we all love.
What makes this opportunity so rare is that it isn’t just a beautiful old building; it is a thriving, working business. Currently, it is home to Rib City at Grant Station. If you choose the turnkey option, you get everything—the land, the building, the business name, and even the furniture and kitchen equipment. It is a “plug and play” dream for someone who wants to own a restaurant without the headache of starting from scratch. The current owners have taken great care of the mechanical side too. There is a Generac generator system that keeps the walk-in refrigerator running if the power ever goes out. With seating for 66 people and over 30 parking spaces, it is perfectly sized to be a community hub for years to come.
If running a restaurant isn’t your dream, don’t worry! The property has flexible commercial zoning. With nearly 5,000 square feet of space, this building would make an incredible boutique retail shop, a creative art gallery, or even a one-of-a-kind office space. The high ceilings and historic character provide a backdrop that you simply cannot buy in a modern shopping mall. The half-acre lot sits right on a busy stretch of Highway 1, giving you amazing visibility while still feeling tucked away in the past. It is the perfect blend of a busy commercial location and a quiet, historic atmosphere.
Owning a place like Grant Station means you become the next chapter in its 120-year story. Whether you want to continue the legacy of the restaurant or start something entirely new, you’ll be doing it in one of the most beloved buildings in the area. It is a rare chance to own a piece of history that actually pays for itself.
