West Sixth Brewing Shares Space With “Roller Girls” in Kentucky

Captivated by the century-old brick warehouse on the edge of the historical Northside neighborhood, the young entrepreneurs bought the building for $550,000 in August.

But the Bread Box, as they called their warehouse, was nearly 90,000 square feet — way larger than they needed for their now-open West Sixth Brewing Co. and tap room.

So they looked for tenants "who share some of our same values," Self said, and they found them.

The tenant mix now includes Rollergirls of Central Kentucky; Broke Spoke community bicycle repair shop; artists’ studios; Cricket Press; and FoodChain, a non-profit indoor urban farm that is raising tilapia in tanks and growing leafy greens.
