Project Overview
The new Black Rifle Coffee Company in Virginia Beach is a ground-up, approximately 2,300-square-foot retail coffee shop and restaurant designed around the brand’s first Virginia Beach location. The single-story facility combines a coffee bar, commercial kitchen, retail and dining areas, drive-thru service, and an outdoor patio within a compact, purpose-built space.
Structural design supported the open retail and dining environment while accommodating the building’s architectural, kitchen, and drive-thru requirements.
