Exciting progress is happening at one of Memphis’s most hotly anticipated dining establishments. Construction is underway at Hive Bagel & Deli’s second location, making both ownership and future diners optimistic for an early summer opening.
Hive has been steadily accumulating permits for its upcoming 585 Ering Drive storefront. The Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development most recently issued the eatery its sign permit and commercial electrical permit on February 2. A commercial alteration permit for the storefront shows that Hive will have a dedicated 4,540 square feet of space in which to greet its customers, and an occupant load of 40.
Work is underway at the location; a January 12 social media post on Hive’s official Instagram account shows owner Josh Steiner touring the space. While it is clear the renovation is in its early phases, it is also certain to inspire excitement among future regulars, showing that progress is occurring. While an exact opening date is not yet available, Steiner and his team are hoping to have Hive’s new storefront customer-ready by June of this year.
Hive has already amassed a considerable fan-following through its 276 South Front Street, Suite 105 location. That particular bakery opened in January 2023 and made an immediate impact on the Memphis dining scene,thanks to is mission: “We blend the artistry of baking with a passion for premium locally-sourced ingredients. Join us on a culinary journey that celebrates the sweet difference of quality, community, and the buzz of life.”
