The new Olde Mecklenburg Brewery facility -- 8.5 acres, with a brewhouse four times the size of the old one, an expanded taproom/restaurant designed to look like a German bierhall, an outdoor biergarten and an event space that can hold nearly 500 -- won't hold its public grand opening until Aug. 15, rescheduling from the original July 19 date.
The site, at 4150 Yancey Road, has had construction delays. The rescheduled opening, promises founder John Marrino, will include food, live music and brewery tours, giveaways and the serving of OMB brews such as Copper, Captain Jack, Southside Weiss, Hornets Nest, Dunkelweizen, Yule Bock, Bauern Bock, Fat Boy, Fruh Bock and Unfiltered Anny Alt.

Location, Location, Location. This Location just doesn't have it. Off the beaten path, not visible from any main road. No adjacent business to draw customers from. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
Yet they still continue to grow....
As opposed to their previous location? They did very well there despite all the conditions you mention. The new location is highly visible from Tryon.
9:22 I think you'd be surprised if you look at the locations of successful breweries not just in Charlotte but other cities. One of my favorite breweries in DC is in a rundown area on the outskirts with no sign and no visibility from the street, but everyone knows about it and it always has a line out the door for growler fills.
Yes, but no. They were in their current location for 5 years now, the new location is 100 yards away and will be a "destination location". They are the biggest brewery in the area because they make really good and really consistent beer and that's not going to change. They are set to grow, grow, grow and if that's "Stupid, Stupid Stupid" to you, then you have no idea what you're talking about.
