FOR LEASE — Restaurant/food service space in a multi-tenant outdoor food court. Welcome to Cargo Food Court, a one-of-a-kind outdoor food hall built from repurposed shipping containers in the heart of Wilmington, NC, offering a vibrant mix of local flavors, craft drinks, and community-driven energy.
This 20′ container unit (approximately 160 SF) is move-in ready for the right food service operator. Features include a built-in takeout window, grease trap, self-contained plumbing, and HVAC. Hood system optional. Build out the kitchen to match your concept — bring your equipment and you’re open.
Cargo Food Court is a top Wilmington dining destination featuring open-air seating, a rotating lineup of local food vendors, craft beer and cocktails, specialty drinks, and regular live music and community events. It’s the go-to spot for lunch, dinner, happy hour, and weekend gatherings — drawing steady, loyal foot traffic from residents and visitors year-round.
For food operators and entrepreneurs, Cargo offers a rare chance to join a high-traffic food hall without the cost or risk of a traditional restaurant buildout. With strong foot traffic, built-in visibility, and an established customer base, the food court serves as both a launchpad for new concepts and a growth platform for established brands looking for a satellite location. Flexible lease terms available. Ideal for food truck operators ready for brick and mortar, chefs testing a new concept, or established restaurants expanding their footprint.
